Ingredients
- 1 box vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients to prepare it)
- 2 cups peach pie filling
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 fresh peaches, sliced
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Cake Mix: Follow the instructions on the cake mix box and prepare the batter. Pour it into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Bake the Cake: Bake as directed on the box, typically 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely.
- Poke the Cake: Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake.
- Add the Peach Filling: Spread the peach pie filling evenly across the cake, pressing it into the holes.
- Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the Cake: Spread the whipped cream over the peach layer. Top with fresh peach slices, crushed graham crackers, and mint leaves for garnish.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps the flavors meld and the cake set.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute with a gluten-free cake mix.
- If you’re lactose intolerant, coconut cream works as a substitute for heavy cream.
- Use sugar-free peach pie filling for a lower-sugar option.
- Chilling the whipped cream bowl and beaters makes whipping faster and easier.
