Here we are, the last of the summer peaches and herbs postings. Peaches paired with thyme were my favorite this month. I loved making Honey Roasted Peaches with Thyme and baking peaches into a Peach Thyme Upside Down Cake. If you’re in a preserving mood you, rosemary got in the mix with Rosemary Peach Butter. Now I give you this Balsamic Peach Bundt Cake and the herb of the day is fresh mint. Peaches take a dip in a little brown sugar balsamic mint bath then get baked into this lovely yogurt cake for a delightfully dense, moist summer bundt cake.
You already know how much I love strawberries and balsamic vinegar together but peaches work well also. Remember that Balsamic Fruit Salad? Yep, peaches and strawberries, cherries and blueberries. They all love balsamic vinegar because just a touch really heightens the natural flavor of the fruit. That’s exactly what happens here in the bundt cake as well. The little pockets of peaches and mint in this cake are like getting a sweet little flavor surprise each time you find one. Served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, it’s another perfect peach dessert.

Two Years Ago: August Pie
Vanilla yogurt cake dotted with balsamic peaches for a moist, dense summer cake perfect for serving with vanilla ice cream on a warm summer day.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons high-quality aged balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
- 4 large ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup Cabot vanilla bean greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 14-cup bundt pan well with nonstick cooking spray containing flour or grease and flour pan well, tapping out excess flour. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar and mint. Bruise the mint with a wooden spoon in the bottom of the bowl a bit. Toss diced peaches with balsamic mixture. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat 2 sticks of butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy on medium-high speed. Add one egg and beat just until incorporated. Repeat with remaining eggs, beating after each addition.
- With the mixer on low, add half of the flour mixture just until combined. Add yogurt, beat then add remaining half of the flour mixture. Beat just until combined. Add vanilla and beat one last time to incorporate.
- Spoon 1/3 of batter into prepared bundt pan. Drain the peaches and top batter with 1/3 the peaches. Top with half the remaining batter and then top batter with half the remaining peaches. Spread the last of the batter over the peaches and top with remaining peaches.
- Bake for 1 hour in preheated oven or until a tester inserted in center comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack and cool 15 minutes in pan. Invert and remove pan. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, cut into slices and serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.

I don’t want peach season to come to an end. Strawberries and balsamic is a favorite pairing and I love the idea of peaches and balsamic in a pretty bundt:)Thank you for being a part of our group, Kate!
Thanks for another wonderful theme! Loved participating.
another winning recipe for sure! wow! you bakers sure know how to make me salivate for a peach cake!
As usual, your idea has been added to my baking to-do list for next week!
Hope you enjoy it! This is one of my favorite cakes to date.
What an interesting combo, Kate. I’m definitely intrigued and thank you for this oh, so sophisticated peach Bundt recipe =)
I wasn’t sure how it would work out but it was wonderful!
I have never tried balsamic vinegar with fruit, but with this gorgeous bundt I’m convinced that it’s time that I do.
Oh Sandra, you must! My favorite combination is strawberries and balsamic vinegar (you can find a ton of different recipes with that flavor combination on my site!) but I’m finding that other fruits work so well with balsamic vinegar as well.
I love balasamic vinegar so much, sometimes that’s all I put on my salad! But I especially love it in fruit preparations. Looking forward to trying it with peaches! The cake looks really moist, Kate and I can just imagine the sweetness the balsamic peaches add! Lovely recipe! : )
what a gorgeous cake!! and Im sure just as tasty
Wow…that looks and sounds absolutely amazing!
That looks soooooooooo cute!!!!! I’m in love with this recipe!
Peaches in a balsamic bath– yum. what a great start to this beautiful cake!
Love these flavors!
I love balsamic vinegar! I never tried it with peaches before, but I can imagine how delicious the pairing is in my head. And I love cake, so this recipe is going on the must try list. Peaches are in season here in PA, so time to start baking.
Thanks so much Carla! I really hope you enjoy it. It was something we truly enjoyed so much.
I completely agree about the addition of balsamic to fruit, Kate. It brings out the sweetness. I remember a time when I had never heard of balsamic vinegar and now I wonder why it took me so long to discover it. Your cake is beautiful!
I love balsamic vinegar so very much! And I love experimenting and seeing new ways to use it.
Yum! I love peaches with balsamic and bet it adds a delicious flavor to this cake.
Kate, this is the most intriguing peach cake! How I want to try making it, but have to wait for fresh peaches (winter here). Balsamic and mint, SO interesting! Love this recipe
Now I’ll be headed back to the market to get more fresh peaches because I am dying to try them after a balsamic and brown sugar bath. I’ll have to leave out the mint though. It doesn’t do well in my system. Lovely bundt and your pan is another one I want to get to add to my collection.
So many gorgeously fruity bundt cakes this month! I love the addition of the mint and balsamic in yours, such a wonderful compliment to the fruit (I am SUCH a huge fan of both strawberries and peaches with a drizzle of aged balsamic. Makes it so special!). Thanks for the lovely recipe. I need to get a bundt tin so I can join in the fun! xx
LOve the balsamic and mint–what an unexpected and yummy addition!
Interesting ingredients. Balsamic and mint, I cant wait to try this one.
What a great combo. Looks so delicious.
Okay I pretty much adore peaches since living in the South! All your recipes with different ways to enjoy the delicious fruit is fantastic! Honestly, I really don’t do enough with balsamic vinegar. When I was working at the cafe here in Charlotte, the chef had a strawberry balsamic sauce that was amazing. He always added it to a specific cake recipe:-) Your bundt cake is gorgeous, and sounds amazing! Hugs, Terra
Thanks so much Terra! I love finding new ways to use balsamic vinegar in sweets 🙂 And glad you’ve enjoyed the bombardment of peaches!
This is a gorgeous cake!
Thank you Nicole! It’s one of my favorite. So many wonderful summer flavors.
Another winner Kate. The use of balsamic vinegar with peach is a really creative touch. I have a similar Bundt pan (Nordic-ware 10 cup) and I don’t think I could get away with using a 3 cup flour batter (trust me I tired)? Did you divide the batter into two pans?
Thank you Aya! Actually for this cake I used a 14-cup bundt pan but you could certainly use a 10-cup bundt pan then reserve the remaining batter and make muffins with the extra 😉
What a great flavour combination. I’ve never tried it before but your cake looks great.
Thanks so much Laura! I had only paired peaches with balsamic as part of a larger fruit salad once before but I was pretty sure it would work all on its own and it really did. The flavors here are amazing!
