Ingredients
Cake:
- One 15 ounce package of yellow cake mix
- Four to six fresh peaches peeled and sliced, or one (16 ounce) package of frozen peaches, not thawed
- Two 3 ounce packages of peach-flavored gelatin
- Four large eggs
- One cup of vegetable oil
- One teaspoon of vanilla extract
Frosting:
- Two cups of brown sugar
- Two-thirds cup of heavy cream
- One-half cup one stick of unsalted butter, at room temperature
- One teaspoon of vanilla extract
- One-quarter teaspoon of salt optional
- Ice bath optional
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Initiate the baking process by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Mix the Cake Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or using an electric mixer, combine the yellow cake mix, peach-flavored gelatin, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix these ingredients until they are just incorporated, taking care not to overmix as this could result in a denser cake texture.
- Incorporate Peaches: Gently fold the peeled and sliced peaches into the cake batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Bake the Cake: Transfer the cake batter into the prepared baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 to 45 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Cake: Once baking is complete, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the baking dish.
- Prepare the Frosting: While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting by combining the brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter in a large saucepan. Place this mixture over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then allow it to boil for one minute before removing from the heat.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract and salt into the frosting mixture. If utilizing an ice bath, set up a large bowl filled with ice water. Place the saucepan containing the frosting mixture into the ice bath, being cautious to avoid water entering the frosting. Stir continuously until the mixture cools and begins to thicken.
- Finish the Frosting: Once the frosting has cooled and thickened, beat it for an additional four to five minutes, or until it achieves a thick yet fluffy consistency.
- Assemble the Cake: Spread the prepared brown sugar frosting evenly over the surface of the cooled cake.
- Serve: Slice the frosted cake into squares and serve.
