Enjoy a slice with ice cream or whipped cream, perhaps alongside your morning coffee or as a late afternoon treat. After dinner, it would make an indulgent treat paired with some peach schnapps.
If you have a lot of peaches to use up and you've already made peach cupcakes, this recipe is really good. If you're really in a bind for time, you might prefer this easy 3-ingredient peach cobbler with cake mix instead.
Main Ingredients
I just know you're going to love the flavor of this pound cake. How could you not? Everything from the buttery cake to the juicy peaches and touch of vanilla is so good in there. The key ingredients you'll need to make it are as follows:
- Peaches: For a summery, fruity touch. Since peaches are the star of the cake, I'd recommend using fresh ones if possible.
- Flour: The basis of the cake. Regular all-purpose flour works well here or you could use cake flour or half of each. For a gluten-free cake, substitute your favorite kind of gluten-free flour instead.
- Eggs: For the batter. The eggs bind with the flour and other ingredients to hold the cake together and give it a nice consistency. You don't have to separate the eggs like you would for some other cake recipes.
- Cinnamon and vanilla: Add contrasting flavors. A pinch of cinnamon and a few drops of vanilla are beautiful in so many of my favorite dessert recipes! You can always tweak this recipe, substituting nutmeg for the cinnamon or almond extract for the vanilla.
Instructions Overview
The first thing to do is toss the peach slices in some of the flour. Next, mix some of the sugar with the cinnamon and then pour this into a greased Bundt pan. Toss to coat the pan sides, discarding any leftover mixture that didn’t stick.
Cream the rest of the sugar with the butter until fluffy and light, then mix in the vanilla, followed by one egg at a time.
Mix the rest of the flour with the baking soda and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Now you can fold in the peaches and then pour this batter into the Bundt pan. Bake the peach cobbler pound cake for an hour and ten minutes or until done.
Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool for 20 minutes in the pan then turn it upside down and let it finish cooling upside down (this is so it doesn't deflate or collapse in on itself). Dust with powdered sugar then serve.
Common Questions
If you're going to eat it all within 5 or 6 days, it'll be fine in a sealed container in the refrigerator. For any longer than that though, you will want to freeze it. Wrap the cake tightly in either plastic wrap or in a Ziploc freezer bag with all the air squeezed out. It should be fine for a couple of months.
This type of cake is quite dense, which is why it's often delicately flavored. With a sponge cake, for example, the eggs are separated and then added, yielding a spongier result. In this recipe though, the juicy peaches offer a really nice contrast with the somewhat denser cobbler cake.
If your cake doesn't slide out easily, don't worry! Let it cool completely before attempting to get it out. Still won't come out? Pour boiling water over a clean dish towel and then squeeze out most of it. Use silicon gloves so you don't burn yourself. Drape this over the top of the cake. The steam it releases will help coax the cake out of the pan. You can also try a rubber spatula. Don't use a knife because it will mess up the look of the cake. Remember, if you don't have a Bundt pan, a loaf pan also works.
Chopnotch Tips
- Use canned or frozen peaches when fresh ones are out of season.
- Peeling the peaches is optional. The easiest way to peel firm peaches is to use a vegetable peeler. If they're riper just cut an X into the base of each one, plunge them into boiling water for 30 seconds and then plunge them into ice water. You'll find the skin comes off easily when they cool.
- Other soft fruits will work in place of the peaches, such as strawberries, plums, or blueberries perhaps. You can use one variety or mix and match.
This peach cobbler pound cake is my go-to recipe when I crave fresh fruit and cobbler and cake all at the same time! Enjoy this trifecta of delicious desserts all in one recipe.
