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 my friends!
Ever made a 2 ingredient fat free cake before?? Well you’re about to because this is SO Good!! I know…super easy too right?? No need for an angel food cake pan or even water! You just need a gentle hand to fluff the mix and canned fruit together, bake, top with whipped cream to serve.
We first made air fryer peaches and those were totally amazing. When it isn’t summertime though you can’t find ripe ones often so canned is second best for sure.
I don’t know about you but when you think of this airy fluffy cake it sounds and feels difficult. It really isn’t but I 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 me and my long list of easy dump cake recipes you know I am all about easy and whipping things together. It’s great for when company comes over, or I’m hormonal and desperately need dessert after dinner that day.
Ingredient Notes
You need a Box of angel food cake. I have a few boxes in my 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. I used halved and just 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 I 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.
How to Make Peach Cake with Canned Peaches
You literally just 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.
How Long to Bake in 9×13 Pan
You only need 25-30 minutes to bake this so that the very 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 delicious.
How Long to Bake in Angel Food Cake Pan
You can in fact use a regular angel food cake fluted style pan for this if you would rather. It will rise higher and be a bit fluffier if you do, I just think this is easier to do and easier to clean too. You still bake at 350F but make sure the rack is in the middle of the oven and it will take closer to 35-40 minutes in this case.
Tips
When I am making this I always treat it a bit more gently than I 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. Just fold them together until the mix is smooth with the lumps just 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.

FAQ
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 very light and airy. You can bake it in a rectangular pan but it will not rise much and be denser.

I personally have never seen, bought, or used a box with it separated. Others haven’t noted an issue as long as they whisk the two together well before adding other ingredients.
