Get ready for a taste of summer! Juicy peaches are at their prime during the hot months, and I've got a couple of bags sitting on my counter right now.
I can't wait for these peaches to ripen! Once they do, I'm going to turn this apple bundt cake into another delicious peach cake. Last time I made it, I added a secret cinnamon swirl inspired by this sour cream coffee cake.
Wow! You won't believe how incredible this summer cake is. The addition of fresh juicy peach chunks and a delightful cinnamon sugar swirl give it such a great flavor.

How to Make a Peach Bundt Cake
Make a mouthwatering peach bundt cake in no time! Fresh peaches and a delicious, sweet glaze combine to create the perfect summer treat.
- Make the filling. Stir together the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Use a fork to cut the cold butter into it.
- Mix the wet ingredients. Beat the butter, sugar, and oil until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla, then remix.
- Stir together the dry ingredients. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Slowly mix them into the wet mixture.
- Add the peaches and filling. Gently stir in the diced peaches. Spoon half the batter into a greased bundt cake pan. Spoon the filling onto the batter, keeping it away from the sides of the pans. Top with the rest of the batter.
- Bake and cool. Place the pan in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack before adding a glaze or cream cheese frosting.
Storage Recommendations
On the Counter - Keep the cake in a loosely sealed container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
In the Refrigerator - To keep the cake for 5-6 days, keep it in a tightly sealed container in the fridge.
BruCrew Tips
- Toss the diced peaches in a little bit of flour to keep them from sinking into the cake batter while baking.
- Use a toothpick to check the center of the cake to see if it is done.
- Allow the cake to cool in the hot pan for at least 10 minutes before turning it out onto a plate.
- Do not add the glaze until the cake is completely cool. If the cake is even slightly warm, the glaze will melt into a puddle at the bottom of the cake plate.
- This cake is also delicious served with a sprinkling of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

Peach Bundt Cake Recipe
This fresh peach cake has a hidden pocket of cinnamon sugar filling. It is an amazing cake to enjoy with a cup of coffee and friends.
Ingredients
For the Filling
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cold
For the Cake
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon table salt
- 3 cups finely diced peaches (peel if using fresh)
For the Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4 teaspoons water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 12 cup bundt pan with nonstick baking spray.
- Combine the filling ingredients. Cut the cold butter in with a fork until it resembles sand. Set aside.
- Mix the butter, sugar, and oil until mixed. Add the vanilla and eggs and mix again.
- Stir together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add to the butter mixture until it is all mixed in.
- Stir in the peaches gently. Spoon half the batter into the prepared pan.
- Spoon the cinnamon filling into the center of the cake batter all the way around. Keep it from touching the sides of the pan. Cover the filling with the remaining cake batter.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan 10-15 minutes before flipping out onto a plate. Cool completely.
- Stir together the powdered sugar and water. Spoon over the top of the cake. Let set.
Notes
- I diced the peaches. You could also use a fork to smash the chunks finer, so the chunks of peach are not as visible in the cake slices.

Kathleen says
I'm pretty sure I need to make this! Did you peel the peaches? And do you think it would be okay if I greased and floured a bundt pan instead of spray? Thank you!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Hi, Kathleen. I did peel the peaches. Thank you for asking...I should probably add that to the recipe 🙂 Although I do think it would fine to leave them on too. And I think it would be ok to grease and flour your pan as long as you do it really well in every crack. I recommend using Baker's Joy for pans like that. Cakes just fall right out after baking! I hope you enjoy the cake!!!
Kathleen says
Hi Jocelyn - I made this last night and had it for breakfast this morning! It's a healthy breakfast, right? Cuz it has fruit! Anyway, it is delicious and I did leave the skins on the peaches. I can see a tiny bit of reddish here and there in the cake from the skins. My cake color turned out a little darker than yours though. I know I didn't over-bake it because it is by no means dry. Just thought you'd like to know - this recipe is tested and reader approved! :o)
