Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Growing up, Miranda from Milestone Recipes spent countless afternoons baking alongside her grandmother. Their kitchen was a place of laughter, storytelling, and delicious smells. Inspired by those warm memories, Miranda crafts recipes that are approachable, heartfelt, and just a little bit nostalgic.

Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix

1 can (15 oz) sliced peaches in syrup, drained

1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

3 large eggs

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup peach syrup (reserved from can)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

Prep Your Pan and Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Yes, even if you’re feeling rebellious—trust me,

or cake love a good non-stick surface.

Mix It Up

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, peach syrup, and vanilla extract. Beat with a mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.

Fruit Time

Gently fold in the peaches and raspberries. The goal is a light touch—think “tucking them in” rather than “body-slamming” the fruit.

Into the Pan

Pour the batter into the prepared dish. Spread evenly and sprinkle the top lightly with sugar. This gives you a sweet, slightly crunchy top that’s utterly divine.

Bake to Glory

Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Good things come to those who wait.

Tips for the Best Results

Room Temperature Matters: Make sure your eggs aren’t fridge-cold for a fluffier cake.

Don’t Overmix: Your cake will thank you by staying tender.

Frozen Raspberries? Totally fine! No need to thaw.

Lumpy Batter? Embrace it. That’s just extra love pockets.

Short on Peach Syrup? Top it up with a little milk or water.

Serving Suggestions

This Juicy Peach Raspberry Cake is a little slice of sunshine all on its own, but here’s how you can make it even more irresistible:

Warm it up slightly before serving to bring out the juicy peach and raspberry flavors even more. A quick 10 seconds in the microwave does the trick.

Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for a classic, dreamy pairing that feels like a hug in a bowl.

Drizzle with a little raspberry sauce or homemade whipped cream if you’re feeling fancy—you deserve it.

Dust with extra powdered sugar right before serving to give it that “just baked at a cozy café” look.

Serve with fresh berries on the plate for a pop of color and a little extra tartness to balance the sweetness.
