Cake
  1. 1 (15.25-ounce) box white cake mix, such as Pillsbury
  2. 1 (3.4-ounce) box instant vanilla- flavored pudding and pie filling
  3. 4 large eggs
  4. 1 cup water
  5. 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Peaches
  1. 2 tablespoons butter
  2. 4 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and halved
  3. 1⁄4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  4. 1⁄4 cup honey
  5. 1⁄4 cup water
  6. 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  7. 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  8. Sweetened whipped cream, ground cinnamon to serve
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 10- to 15-cup Bundt pan with nonstick baking spray with flour. Set aside.
  2. For cake: In a large bowl, beat cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, 1 cup water, and oil at low speed with an electric mixer until combined. Beat at medium speed 2 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape sides of bowl. Pour into prepared pan. Tap pan on counter twice to release air bubbles.
  3. Bake until a wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean, approximately 35 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack, and let cool completely.
  4. For peaches: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add peaches, cut side down. Cook until golden brown on bottom, approximately 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
  5. Remove peaches from pan. Cut each peach half into 3 wedges. Set aside. Add brown sugar, honey, 1⁄4 cup water, lemon juice, and cinnamon to pan, stirring to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook until sugar dissolves, approximately 2 minutes.
  6. Return peaches to pan; cook 1 minute more. Serve cake with peaches and whipped cream. Drizzle with syrup, and sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired.
