Summer Peach Pie Poke Cake
A fluffy white cake soaked with a creamy blend of peach pie filling and heavy cream, topped with whipped topping and a dusting of nutmeg. An easy make-ahead summer dessert.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix (13.25 to 15.25 ounces), plus the eggs, oil and water listed on the box
- 1 can peach pie filling (21 ounces)
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces whipped topping thawed
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup sliced peaches fresh, or canned and drained, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. Prepare and bake the cake mix according to the package directions (usually 30 to 35 minutes). Let the cake cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Using the round handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the top of the cake about 1 inch apart, pushing about three-quarters of the way down.
- In a blender, blend the peach pie filling and heavy cream for 20 to 30 seconds, until smooth and pourable. Pour it evenly over the cake, making sure it runs into the holes; use an offset spatula to nudge it into any holes it misses.
- Spread the whipped topping evenly over the peach layer and sprinkle with the nutmeg.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the filling is set.
- Just before serving, top with the sliced peaches. Cut into 12 squares and serve cold.
Notes
- Cake mix boxes are now usually 13.25 to 15.25 ounces; any size from 13.25 to 18.25 ounces works in a 9x13 pan. Bake time depends on the brand, so follow the box.
- For a peach poke cake with canned peaches, replace the pie filling and cream with a drained 15-ounce can of sliced peaches blended with ½ cup sweetened condensed milk.
- For a peach jello poke cake, pour a 3-ounce box of peach Jell-O (dissolved in 1 cup boiling water plus ½ cup cold water) over the poked cake first, chill 30 minutes, then continue with the peach filling.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze (without the peach slices) for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge.
