    Peaches and Apricot Cream Cake

    Jump to Recipe

    Just the idea of a cream cake is mouth watering, don't you think?apricot peach cream cake

    When I hear fruit paired with cream anything, I immediately think of something light, fresh and SUMMERY! And right now, I am all about the summer.

    This cake... is alllll summer. It has a perfect blend of sweet and tart and is ultra moist, but still light and fluffy. This peaches and apricot cake really has everything going for it. It also happens to be a family favorite. I made three of these babies this past weekend for my family (there are six of us, plus my grandmom, aunt and cousin came by to visit) and just the tiniest amount was left for me to share with my co-workers.

    The blend of apricots and peaches is 100% necessary in this cake because we get that sweet, ripe peach that bursts with flavor when you bite into it along with the slightly more tart and sturdy apricots. The two were meant to be together. Add the creaminess from the creme fraiche and you have the perfect dessert for those relaxing summer nights. If you don't have creme fraiche, sour cream or plain yogurt works too.

    When you chop your peaches (I recommend fresh, but frozen works too, just stay away from canned), save some of the juice for the glaze. The peach glaze is so addictive. I may have helped my daughter lick the bowl when we were done drizzling the cake. When you make the glaze you will see that I simply had no choice!

      Tried this as I wanted to use up an excessive supply of fresh apricots and peaches. What an exceptional cake. I replaced the flour with gluten free flour (due to health reasons) but the recipe otherwise remained the same. Light airy high risen cake, what a joy. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Will definitely make again. This is a mouth-watering cake that you must try.
