Ironically, this recipe is almost exactly the same as my own from years ago. There are only two things that I added that are not in this one. I used to add about 1/2 T of Lemon Juice. I like sweets, but my taste buds scream sugar overload fairly quickly. This is just enough to make the peach filling 'peachier'. I also have a GREAT LOVE of CINNAMON... So I always add about a tsp or more to the recipe as well. It seems to add more depth to the overall taste. Of course, like bacon, I am a firm believer that everything goes good with cinnamon. LOL! I used to make a lot of homemade breads, and would roll them out and then spread the filling all over it, then roll it up, let it rise and bake. It always came out perfect and at bake sales, I never had enough.

I made this cake a few years ago and it was very good. I plan on making it again this weekend but as before, can anyone tell me who puts out an 18.25 oz. box of yellow cake mix. All I can ever find is 15.25???

Hi there! Boxed cake mix used to be sold in 18.25 oz boxes (when we originally created this recipe), however they are now sold (mostly) in 15.25 oz boxes. The Test Kitchen says that this recipe will work with the new, 15.25 oz box just fine. :) We'd love to hear more feedback from you. Enjoy!

Hi there! While the Test Kitchen has not made this cake recipe into muffins, we do believe that this recipe should work out if made into them. Since we have not made it this way, we cannot guarantee the results. If you make this recipe, let us know how it turns out for you; we would love to hear your feedback. Enjoy!

Yes, you can cook this cake in a Bundt pan, but just watch the time. It may have to cook a little bit longer. Enjoy!

For people asking about using different cake mixes, try them! Today we used a lemon cake mix with a can of lemon pie filling and it was absolutely extraordinary!!! I can't wait to experiment - chocolate cake & cherry pie filling? Oh, my! Stocking up on pie filling when it's on sale is one way to keep the cost down.

How would just a can of sliced peaches work? Would I have to drain them? I always have those on hand and they cost less than pie filling.

Take note that it is a can of peach PIE FILLING, not a can of sliced peaches. I have made this cake and it is delicious and easy.

If the peaches are packed in juice, you can make them into pie filling. Drain reserve the juice from the peaches. Measure and add water to make 3/4 cup. Pour 1/2 cup into a small saucepan bring to a gentle simmer. In the reserved liquid, make a slurry with 1 tablespoon cornstarch or quick cookiing tapioca. Whisk slurry into the juice. Stirring constantly cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. If desired, add 1 tsp cinnamon or 1/4 tsp nutmeg, also tasty is 1 tsp vanilla or 1/2 tsp almond extract. You can also add up to 1 tbs lemon juice to create a brighter flavor. Allow this syrup to cool for about 5 minutes in the refrigerator. Pour over canned sliced peaches gently distribute over all the fruit. This is a pretty good sub for canned peach pie filling. I use this instead of ready made pie filling all the time.

The pie filling adds a lot of sugar. Adding frosting to the cake makes it too sweet in my opinion. Try it with just the whipped cream first. If not quiet what you want, then add frosting. Easier to put it on later then try to take it off.

Even though the recipe says to serve warm and does not mention icing, I made it the night before and iced it with cream cheese frosting. Was a big hit at my Sunday family dinner.

It does not need frosted. I put walnut bits in the cake mixture, then spread some across the top before baking. The walnuts on the surface were enough. This is a delicious recipe.
