A delightful summer cake that combines the refreshing taste of peaches with the playful texture of gummy rings.
Equipment
- 1 9-inch round cake pan greased and floured
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 mixing bowl large
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 large eggs room temperature
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix with peach juice, eggs, and softened butter. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare peach gelatin according to package directions, substituting water with peach juice for added flavor.
- Once the cake is cooled, use a skewer to poke holes across the surface of the cake, about 1 inch apart.
- Pour the prepared gelatin over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Arrange gummy peach rings in a decorative pattern on top of the cake just before serving.
Serving
- Slice the cake into 8 servings. Pair each slice with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
Storage
- Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, add gummy rings just before serving.
