A moist, fruity cake blending orange and peach flavors, topped with whipped cream—perfect for brunches, potlucks, or a delightful dessert for any occasion.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Stir the orange cake mix, peach pie filling, sour cream, and eggs together with a spoon for 1 minute.
- Pour the batter into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes.
- Before serving, top the cake with Cool Whip.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter cake, consider substituting Greek yogurt for sour cream. You can also add a teaspoon of almond extract to enhance the flavor. If you don't have peach pie filling, any fruit pie filling, like apricot or even cherry, could work in a pinch. Make sure to mix the batter just until combined to avoid a dense texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cake chilled or at room temperature, topped with a generous dollop of Cool Whip for added creaminess. It pairs beautifully with Mary'S Strawberry Ice Cream for a refreshing dessert experience. For a more festive presentation, consider garnishing with fresh peach slices or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Peachy Orange Cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you want to freeze it, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. To reheat, pop a slice in the microwave for about 20 seconds.

What can I do if I don't have peach pie filling?
If peach pie filling isn't available, you can use other fruit fillings such as apricot or even a mix of diced fresh peaches with some sugar and cornstarch to mimic the filling. This will still yield a delicious cake.
Is it possible to make this cake gluten-free?
Yes, you can use a gluten-free orange cake mix as a substitute for the regular one. Just ensure that all other ingredients, like the pie filling and sour cream, are also gluten-free to maintain the cake's integrity.
