I am rotating my canned goods and ran across several cans of peaches that I want to use up and went in search of receipes and found one for a Peach Whipped Cream Frosting Recipe at and it ended up being the inspiration for this cake, even though I didn't actually use it.

When I was at the grocery I noticed that Jello now makes Peach flavored Jello and decided to try making a Peach Jello Cake with Peach Whipped Frosting. While it did not turn out as pretty as I had hoped as there was not a lot contrast between the cake, the jello and the frosting, it was great for a hot afternoon as it was light and fresh with just a hint of peach flavor.

You Will Need (7 things)

  • 1 Peach es(15-16 oz can)
  • 1 box of white Cake Mix and whatever ingredients that mix calls for usually eggs, water or milk and margarine except reduce the amount of liquid used by 2/3 of a cup.
  • 1 small box of Peach Jelly
  • 1 oz tub light whipped Toppings , thawed
  • ¼ cup Confectioners Sugar
  • Pam or other non-stick Non Stick Cooking Spray
  • 1 tbsp Flour (optional)

Steps (7 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Grease and flour an 9x13 baking pan - I sprayed the pan with Pam - you would flour the pan if you are going to do so at this point.

  2. 2

    First, prepare the cake mix according to the instruction on the box, minus 2/3 cup of the liquid.

    Next, puree the peaches in a food processor or blender (I put the juice from the can in with the peaches) then measure out 2/3 of a cup and set it aside and put in the fridge for the frosting. Pour what is left in the rest of the puree into the cake mix batter.

  3. 3

    Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake according the directions on the box mix

  4. 4

    When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and allow to set a few minutes and in the meantime, prepare the jello according to the package (1 cup boiling water until Jello is dissolved, then add 1 cup cold water and stir in).

  5. 5

    Poke holes in the cake with a folk all over spaced about 2 inches apart, then slowly put the Jello over all of the holes until and continue to pour until the entire mixture is used, then put in the fridge for 1 hour.

  6. 6

    Mix the light whipped topping with the 1/4 cup of confectioner's sugar and the 2/3 cup of peach puree set aside in the fridge earlier.

  7. 7

    Frost the cooled cake with the whipped frosting mixture and put in the fridge for at least 1 hour (but best if it can set overnight) before serving.
