Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix all ingredients until well combined.
- Pour batter into a greased and floured Bundt or tube pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense peach flavor, consider using a peach-flavored oil or adding fresh peach puree to the batter. If you don’t have peach Jell-O, try using another fruity gelatin mix, like strawberry or raspberry, for a different twist. Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation into the batter, which helps the cake rise evenly.
Serving Suggestions
This Peach Blush Wine Cake is delicious on its own, but you can elevate it further by serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It pairs beautifully with Epps Diner Banana Pudding for a delightful dessert spread. Consider garnishing with fresh peach slices or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you need to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to a week. To reheat, slice a piece and microwave it for about 10-15 seconds, just enough to warm it without drying out the cake.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of wine in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the peach blush wine with any sweet white wine like Riesling or Moscato, which will still provide a lovely flavor. Just avoid dry wines, as they might alter the cake's sweetness.
How do I know when the cake is done baking?
To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached, the cake is done. If there's wet batter, continue baking for a few more minutes.
Can I make this cake ahead of time?
Absolutely! This cake can be made a day in advance. Just allow it to cool completely before wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and storing it at room temperature. This will help the flavors meld beautifully.
