Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the yellow cake mix, Peach Schnapps, Crisco oil, and orange juice well in a mixer.
- Pour the batter into a well-greased and floured Bundt pan.
- Bake in a 325°F oven for 40 to 45 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider substituting half of the oil with unsweetened applesauce. If you prefer a stronger peach flavor, use peach nectar instead of orange juice. Make sure to mix the ingredients until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can lead to a dense cake. For a fun twist, you can add chopped peaches to the batter for extra fruitiness.
Serving Suggestions
This Peach Schnapps Cake is delightful on its own, but you can elevate it by serving it with a scoop of Milky Way Chocolate Ice Cream for an indulgent dessert. Garnish with fresh peach slices or a drizzle of peach syrup for added flair. It pairs beautifully with coffee or a fruit salad for a refreshing brunch option.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the cake to cool completely before storing. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container to keep it fresh for up to 4 days at room temperature. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing it; it can last up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cake mix for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the yellow cake mix with a white or even a peach-flavored cake mix for a unique twist. Just ensure that the baking instructions remain the same, as different mixes may vary slightly in baking time.
Is it possible to make this cake without alcohol?
Absolutely! You can replace the Peach Schnapps with additional orange juice or peach nectar for a non-alcoholic version. This will keep the moisture and flavor while making it suitable for all ages.
What can I do if my cake sinks in the middle?
A sinking cake can result from several factors, such as underbaking or opening the oven door too early. Make sure to bake the cake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Avoid opening the oven until the last 10 minutes of baking to maintain an even temperature.
