Peaches and Cream Cheese Cake Recipe (2)This recipe has been in my family for as long as I can remember. In fact this Peaches and Cream Cheese Cake recipe is my dad’s most favorite thing that my mom makes. We have it on average two-three times a year: for my dad’s birthday, for Thanksgiving, and then again for Christmas (if we’re lucky). It’s something that the whole family enjoys, but isn’t easily shared and is often fought over. We’ll find as we are walking by that little slivers are missing here and there until the next thing we know, the entire thing is gone! I prefer to eat it warm, but it’s delicious served room temperature also. I love those recipes that remind you of a time or a place or a person. This recipe reminds me of home. Have you even ever heard of a Peaches and Cream Cheese Cake recipe? It’s not something I’ve seen or tasted anywhere else.

Through all the years I’d never once made our Peaches and Cream Cheese Cake recipe on my own. I’ve seen my mom make it over and over but never did I jump in and offer to make it for whatever reason. It was just one of those things that “mom does”. This year I decided to take on the challenge of recreating this special family recipe. I was excited to use a jar of the peaches I canned late summer/early fall! I was so nervous – but one look in to the oven when the timer went off I knew it was a success. Of course, the first people I told that I’d made the famous “Peaches and Cream Cheese Cake Recipe” was my family. I’ve never seen my family come together so quickly over anything in my life! As I turned it over to my dad, it was love at first site. I’ve never received so many compliments on anything I’ve ever made. He truly made me feel like a superstar and I’m so grateful that I have the special touch that my mom does :)

Ingredients

  • 3/4c.flour
  • 1tsp.baking powder
  • 1/2tsp.salt
  • 3 1/4oz.box dry vanilla pudding mixcook n serve, not instant
  • 3tbsp.butter
  • 1egg
  • 1/2c.milk
  • 18 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2c.sugar
  • 115 oz. can of peaches
  • 3tbsp.juice from peaches
  • 1tbsp.sugar
  • 1/2tbsp.cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Mix together flour, baking powder, salt, pudding mix, butter, egg and milk in stand mixer or using hand mixer; beat 2 minutes at medium speed.

  3. Pour in to greased pie pan. Drain a 15oz can of peaches (reserve juice) and carefully place peaches evenly over batter one at a time.

  4. Combine cream cheese, sugar, and 3 Tbsp. juice from peaches into a mixer and beat until smooth. Pour over sliced peaches evenly.

  5. Combine 1 Tbsp. sugar and 1/2 Tbsp. Cinnamon and sprinkle over cream cheese filling. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes until crust is golden brown. Filling will appear soft.

Recipe Notes

You will want your cream cheese to be room temperature before you start. I actually set my egg, butter, and cream cheese out for an hour or more before I even started baking. That way, when I was ready everything was nice and soft. Having a room temperature egg allows it to incorporate in to your batter easier. Having room temperature cream cheese makes for a smoother filling rather than a lumpy one. Enjoy!

    My mom used to make this and gave me the recipe several times, but never kept it. She passed away last year and I was so happy to find this! Just made the recipe but didn’t realize I had instant pudding. :( I added additional milk and hope it turns out ok.

    This simple recipe has been a family favorite for years. It is delicious & very easy. I agree with having the cream cheese at room temperature. Refrigerate the leftovers & warm in the microwave. Somewhere along the way the recipe changed that I got. My recipe calls for a 29 ounce can of peaches drained & cut into chunks.

    Well if you were close I would hug you! I love this recipe and have been searching for it unsuccessfully for years!! I originally found it on the back side of a powdered sugar C&H box (C&H was a sugar factory in California) Where I am from). Then they stopped making it about 15 years ago and I never found it again. I’ve made it so many times when I first got married in 1981.
    I too had the recipe that instructed to place a few of the pieces on the top as well in a circular fashion! I don’t remember the vanilla pudding being part of it, But I can’t wait to make this right after I get hubby to pick up the ingredients for me! Thank you so much for making my day so Blessed !

    Peaches and Cream Cheese Cake Recipe (10)
    Just retired to Texas but are home (Kansas) for the holidays – I also have used this recipe for over 30 years – left all my recipes in Texas and thought of this for my son which is his all-time favorite- just took a chance and typed in Peaches ‘n’ Cream Chhesecake and as soon as your recipe popped up I could tell it was mine. My son will be so thrilled that we will have some.

    I have been looking for this for over a decade. I learned how to make it in 9th grade “Foods For Singles” class at Towson H.S. (Md.) in 1982. I NEVER liked ANYTHING with peaches & was complaining before we ever made it…”Why not cherry or apple?) I was too stupid to understand they don’t have the juices you need!

    It was not only amazing to taste, but a great looking dish as well. We were taught to place the pieces of peach, ON TOP , in a decorative circle. Not under the filling like here? It was so good that a few of my parent’s friends asked if they could “PAY ME?” to make them one, for a fancy dinner party they were hosting. I did…for free! It was a big hit.

    The only teacher I knew with the recipe (I lost), would be 90-95 years of age today, so getting this recipe from her might have been quite a challenge….to say the least! I can’t believe Google found it! I have to bring a dessert to a big Turkey Day feast & they are probably expecting me to show up with a box of HO HO’s? Wait until they see this? I will practice with this recipe & hope memories kick in? if so, I’ll make it the old way, (with peaches on top) & see which one comes out better.

      Hi Buddy I am a Towson High School graduate as well class of of ’73. We never made this in home ec, but I do believe a guy I was dating in high school mother gave me the recipe. I have a 45 year old son that I have to make this recipe for him all the time (that and cream of crab dip and only if I have the crab shipped in from the Eastern Shore) So I guess it is a tradition in our family!

    Your recipe is exactly the same one I found in a Christian School Cookbook over 30 years ago. I have been making it ever since as it has become a real favorite here too. I will be making it again tomorrow for company. Your readers are going to LOVE it! I did wind up substituting plain ground nutmeg sprinkled on top for the cinnamon and sugar. It is delicious. The nutmeg takes it to a new level. Just my humble opinion. Have a great day!

      How wonderful to hear! I actually don’t like nutmeg, which is why we chose to do the cinnamon sugar – but for those who do, I bet that would be wonderful! I just returned from visiting my family on the east coast and while we were there we had this – always a favorite!

      I’m sorry I’m just barely seeing this – if your house is warm, you’ll want to put it in the fridge, if your house is cool, you are OK to leave it out! Summer = fridge, winter = counter. But really, if I’m being honest.. this doesn’t last long enough to worry about that – haha!

Oil Cake. Oil cakes follow the same principles as butter cakes, but use oil as the source of fat.
