Brown Sugar Peach Cake (Printable Format)

Peach-filled cake topped with rich brown sugar frosting for a luscious bite.

# Needed Ingredients:

→ Cake Base

01 - 15 ounces yellow cake mix
02 - 3 large eggs
03 - 1/3 cup vegetable oil
04 - 1/2 cup peach nectar or peach juice
05 - 1 pound peaches, peeled and chopped (about 3 to 4)
06 - Drop orange food coloring (optional)

→ Brown Sugar Frosting

07 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
08 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
09 - 1 cup packed brown sugar
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 - 2 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar, sifted

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9x12-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
02 - Blend together yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, peach nectar, and orange food coloring if using until smooth. Fold chopped peaches into the batter.
03 - Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for approximately 28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean or with moist crumbs. Allow cake to cool slightly.
04 - In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, heavy cream, and brown sugar. Stir constantly and bring mixture to a boil. Remove from heat and immediately add vanilla extract and sifted confectioner's sugar. Whisk until smooth and lumps dissolve, returning briefly to low heat if needed to achieve a pourable consistency.
05 - Pour warm frosting evenly over the cake, aiming for full coverage in the initial pour as the icing sets quickly. Let frosting harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator before slicing and serving.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - Add orange food coloring for a vibrant presentation, but the color is optional and does not impact flavor.
