Summertime is around the corner and I'm thinking peaches!
So I baked a Heavenly Peach Greek Yogurt Cake and all I could say was "Hello Gorgeous Peach Dessert, Come to Mama"!! Incredible!! Don't you just love peach desserts and summer?
This peach cake is made from scratch. I must be getting finicky, because I am loving making cakes, brownies and cookies the old-fashioned way, home-made from scratch even more.
Don't get me wrong, I use the mixes for shortcuts, but the flavor just seems to be sooooo much better when it's home-made. Probably because of all the love I put into it, right?
This cake is Ina Garten's recipe, with the exception of Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and I added a little extra cinnamon. The Greek yogurt helps make the cake moist, healthy and adds protein.
The peaches are sweet and juicy and full of good health benefits!
- Peaches are a very rich source of multivitamins and minerals.
- They have vitamins A, C, E, and K and seven minerals -- calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese and phosphorus.
- Peaches are also a good source of antioxidants and fiber.
- It's a toxin cleanser, helps with weight control.
- It’s a great source of Vitamin C which is widely used for skin care. (You can get plenty of Vitamin C from one large peach.)
- Apart from health benefits, you can directly use peaches for skin care helps to remove dark circles and blemishes.
Who knew? Do you know how to pick your peaches?
The best time to buy peaches is in the summer, when they are in the peak of their season. That's when they have the best flavor, freshness and nutrition.
Choose peaches with taut, peach-fuzzy skin that gives in slightly when pressed.
For ripening peaches, place them in a paper bag or near a window that has lots of sunshine.

Notes
Nutrition
Hi Jane! This wouldn't be diabetic unless you switch out the sugar for a healthy sugar, otherwise I think it would be fine for your friend. Here's a list of healthier yums. I have an Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake I think would be great that is sugar-free as well. You could switch out the apples with the peaches or whatever fruit you would like. That is so sweet of you, I'm sure they will love your sweet gesture!
Can you please list the Nutritional information. I would like to make this for a friend of mine with diab.etes. Or if you have a similar recipethat is more diabetic friendly., pleasepost.
Thank you
Thank you so much Graceann! I love the idea of apples! I am gonna have to try that! Happy Baking!
Looks amazing, need to try this. Bet this would be scrumptious with Apples in the fall too
Yes you could use canned peaches. Del Monte is a good brand to use, but any kind should be ok. Just drain them well. 🙂 Hope you enjoy and thanks so much for asking and wanting to make it! xo
Hi Kim,
This looks and sounds ggamazing!! I absolutely love..love..LOVE peaches!! I'm always so sad to see the end of summer and early fall when peaches have come and gone! ? It's the second week of Nov. but I will checking my local store for peaches that may be appealing so I can make this!!! ? But in case I strike out can I use can peaches? If so, is there a particular kind I use?
I'm hoping you're not to busy to answer my question. It sounds so yummy!!
Thanks!
I haven't tried it but I've done it with coffee cakes and breads before with success. 🙂
Can you use buttermilk in lieu of the Greek yogurt?
Glad you enjoyed it Purvi! Thank you my friend! <3
Tried this recipe today. It was so easy and yum!
Thank you for sharing Otherworlder. 😀
Tried this, I think I would go a 1/2 cup more of yogurt and 25 degrees lower in the oven. Mine was generally great, but the crust is a little overcooked (the inside is gorgeous and fluffy), and the cake is slightly dry for my taste (I like really moist cakes).
I'm so glad you are enjoying them!! Thank you for commenting Snowy!!! 😀
Have some peaches that need using and this sounds a delicious way. Thanks for all the scrumptious recipes in your emails. My family love them.
I'm sure it will be delicious! 🙂 I hope you liked it!
Thanks for the recipe. I feel like such a heretic for using leftover canned peaches for the cake! But it looks beautiful in the oven, smells great, can't wait to taste...
Veliana, 1 stick of butter is 113 grams. Hope that helps? Hope you enjoy it and thanks for stopping by! 🙂
I am really lpokimg forward to baking this delish, but I have a question-in my country we have big and small sticks of butter, the big one is 250g and the small one is 125g, so my queation is how much butter do I use? I'd be happy if you replied, have a nice day/evening. 🙂
Thank you so much Melissa. 🙂
