Why This Recipe is Always on Repeat in Our Kitchen

Peaches make me feel so content and nostalgic in life and this peach pie bar recipe is our go-to when peaches are perfect and we want something sweet without the fuss.

Ingredients for Brown Sugar Peach Crumb Bars

Nothing complicated here – just fresh peaches, a few pantry basics, and that buttery crumble magic that turns golden and crisp in the oven.

• All Butter Pie Crust: We use one double crust of Mom’s Magic Pie Crust – it’s flaky, foolproof, and our forever favorite.
• Peach Chunks: About 7 cups from 7 fresh peaches, peeled or unpeeled. Big chunks hold their shape better and give more texture.
• Brown Sugar: Adds rich, caramel-y sweetness to both the filling and the crumble.
• Cornaby’s Ultra Gel: Keeps the peach filling thick without tasting starchy. You can sub cornstarch in a pinch, but trust us – Ultra Gel is worth tracking down.
• Lemon Juice: Brightens the fruit and balances the sweetness.
• Cinnamon: A little warm spice in both the peachmixture and the topping.
• All-Purpose Flour: Gives the crumble topping its perfect, sandy texture.
• Salt: Just a pinch brings it all to life.
• Unsalted Butter (Cold): Cold and cubed so the crumble bakes into buttery, golden clumps.

I’ve found that when we get invited to a summer potluck, BBQ or picnic I struggle to figure out the perfect summer dessert to bring. I want something light and comforting, but it must scream summer too. That to me is always strawberry shortcake, but let’s be honest, individual desserts are kind of a hassle to drag out to a park or friend’s backyard. That’s where my favorite strawberry shortcake cake comes in!!!

It’s a simple, extra moist white cake that uses a doctored up cake mix, a dreamy, creamy whipped cream and cream cheese frosting and a fresh strawberry sauce on top. 

Bonus! This cake is best made a whole day ahead! 

Ingredients for Strawberry Shortcake Cake

• For the Cake: White Cake Mix, Jello Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix, Sour Cream, Canola Oil, Eggs, Milk and Vanilla Extract
  • PRO TIP: Use just the pudding powder for the recipe! Don’t make the actual pudding. Also…don’t use French vanilla pudding mix or your cake will turn out yellow.
• For the Strawberry Topping: Water, Strawberry Junket and Strawberries
  • PRO TIP: You can find strawberry junket by the Jello. It is a packet for making a strawberry glaze. You can also just buy strawberry glaze or skip the glaze altogether and just macerate the strawberries in some sugar. They will be a little less saucy but still heavenly!
• For the Frosting: Heavy Cream, Powdered Sugar and Cream Cheese

Why Shape of Pasta Should I Use?

I tested many different pasta shapes expecting macaroni to be the winner. I wanted something that would fit well with the shape of the egg as well as trap the dressing. Finally, I landed on ditalini because it’s the perfect size to match the chopped eggs and those little tubes hold onto the dressing so perfectly! Mini shells or orecchiette would also work great!
