The Best Easy Peach Mousse Cake

This lovable peach mousse cake can be made with everything you already have at home!

Don’t you love quick and easy recipes that make for amazing presentation? Those are my favorite ones. That’s why I have so many one-pot, quick, and easy recipes! While I can’t make a cake in one pot, I sure can make it quick and easy. And so can you!

Peach mousse with a cake base is the perfect combination of baked sweets and creamy, fruity mousse. There’s balance and harmony along with flavor and consistency differences that wouldn’t make it in any other cake but this Peach Mousse!

There’s no need to run to the farmer’s market or grocery store to buy some juicy peaches. In fact, I recommend using canned ones for this delicious cake. The fruity flavor won’t be changed. In fact, using canned peaches makes this the perfect summer dessert, winter treat, and fall indulgence. It’s perfect for all seasons, any weeknight dessert, or special occasions.

Here’s why this is the perfect cake:

It’s super versatile! While the bright color of this mousse pops because of the flavored Jello, you don’t necessarily have to use a peach or apricot flavored Jello, but if you use a different flavor, the cake will no longer be the orange color and will taste a bit different, but still good. It’s not the most important thing in this cake, but it’s nice to create a matching flavor with the canned sweet peaches.

You can use cake mix in place of baking your own cake layer. I recommend vanilla cake so it’s milder. It will create a different flavor addition and will change the nutritional information, but if you want to go as easy as possible, that’s definitely an option.

You can make the layers ahead of time. Whether you make the whole cake ahead of time or the layers separately and then put them together, this peaches mousse cake is delicious the next day, or even in two days.

Here’s what you’ll need to make this Easy Peach Mousse:

Eggs start off the cake layer for texture.

Sugar sweetens up that bottom cake layer in th is peach dessert.

Baking powder is added to baked goods to create a light and airy texture.

Flour is for the cake layer, creating structure.

Peaches (in juice) are in this simple dessert for flavor. I don’t recommend using fresh peaches, you can use ripe canned peaches.

Jello (apricot or peach flavored) is for the creamy mousse layer. In a couple of easy steps, it creates the structure for this perfect peach cake. It also adds a sweet peach flavor.

Whipping cream is to add sweetness to this creamy dessert, for the mousse base.

Chocolate chips will be melted down to drizzle on top of this cake!

Unsalted butter will be melted with the chocolate chips to make them more runny.
