Our easy 2 ingredient peach angel food cake with canned peaches recipe is baked in a 9×13 pan and is the best fat free cake we've made in a while! Give it a try tonight and enjoy our friends!

A slice of delightful peach angel food cake topped with whipped cream sits gracefully on a white square plate. The light, fluffy cake reveals juicy peach chunks. A patterned cloth accentuates the scene alongside a baking dish, creating an inviting and warm presentation.

Ever made a 2 ingredient fat free cake before?? Well you're about to because this is SO Good!! We know…super easy too right?? No need for an angel food cake pan or even water! You need a gentle hand to fluff the mix and canned fruit together, bake, top with whipped cream to serve.

We first made peach cobbler with cake mix and that was totally good. We wanted to find another way to use canned peaches with a dry mix to make another version of it, on a lighter scale and this hit the spot.

We don't know about you but when you think of this airy fluffy cake it sounds and feels difficult. It isn't but we get it. You need a special pan, can't open the oven early and cooling it has to be done in a special way or it will deflate. This one is super EASY.

If you know us and our long list of easy dump cake recipes you know we are all about easy and whipping things together. It's great for when company comes over, or we're hormonal and desperately need dessert after dinner that day.

Ingredient notes

You need a Box of angel food cake. We have a few boxes in our cupboard at all times because there are TONS of desserts made with this like our chocolate angel food cake and more.

Can of peaches is needed. We used halved and diced them up with a knife so they were bite size, you can get them diced in those small lunch fruit cups though.

Should you drain the can of peaches?

NO, you need the juices in the can to create the batter. You can use either the heavy syrup type or light (which is what we prefer) but that is all the liquid you need for this, no water or anything else.

You will want to have a large bowl with a spoon to fold everything together to make your batter + a 9×13″ pan to bake it in. We have used this rectangular pan to make our Lemon Angel Food Cake too and it is much easier to remove and serve out of vs. the traditional fluted pan.

How to Make Peach Angel Food Cake with Canned Peaches

You combine the dry cake mix with the fruit and liquid in your can of fruit. You do want to be gentle as this mix is meant to be light and fluffy and over-mixing can impede that. We like to use a rubber spatula for this.

How Long to Bake Angel Food Cake in 9×13 Pan

You only need 25-30 minutes to bake this so that the center is cooked thru. One thing you do need to remember and realize is that this will NOT rise as high and fluffy as the “regular” version made in an angel food cake pan. Because of the added fruit (that is heavy) it will only be about 2 inches high or so, more dense, but so so good.

How do you know when it is done?

You want to look at the color on the top, it should be golden brown. The edges will pull away from the sides a bit and the top will be cracking all the way across too, then you know it is done. You will want to allow this to cool in the pan completely before slicing for best results.

Tips

When we are making this we always treat it a bit more gently than we would a traditional cake mix to maintain it's fluffiness…that is a word. Using a spatula to combine the ingredients is a good idea. fold them together until the mix is smooth with the lumps being our peaches. If your box has the powdered egg white separate, stir into dry mix first before adding your fruit.

There is no need to spray the inside of the pan and in fact you do not want to spray it. Angel food cake needs to be able to sort of cling to the sides to work it's way up. That helps it stay fluffy. So, using a pan like this one with a non stick coating is important. Always preheat the oven before adding your food, or it will fall and cool completely in the pan before slicing so it doesn't tear apart.

Kitchen questions

Can you bake an angel food cake in a 9×13 pan?

Yes, but the outcome will be different. A tube pan allows the batter to crawl up the sides (should not be greased because of that) so it becomes light and airy. You can bake it in a rectangular pan but it will not rise much and be denser.
