How to Make Unbelievably Delicious Peach Cobbler Pound Cake

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 300 degrees F. Prepare a large bundt pan by spraying it generously with baking spray to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Topping: Layer the sliced peaches on the bottom of the greased bundt pan. In a small bowl, mix the ½ cup of brown sugar with the ½ cup of melted butter, then pour this mixture over the sliced peaches. Set aside while you prepare the cake batter.
Make the Batter: Using an electric mixer, beat together the 1 ½ cups of softened butter, 1 ¼ cups of granulated sugar, 1 ¼ cups of light brown sugar, and 1 cup of softened cream cheese until the mixture is light and fluffy. It’s essential to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well blended.
Incorporate the Eggs: Add the 6 large eggs to the mixture, one at a time, mixing and scraping the bowl after each addition until well combined.
Add Vanilla: Stir in the 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Mix in the Flour: Gradually add the 3 cups of all-purpose flour in ½ cup increments. Be sure to mix thoroughly after each addition. Once the flour is added, stir in the ¼ teaspoon salt until the batter is smooth.
Fold in Peaches: Using a spatula, gently fold in the 2 chopped peaches, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Combine and Bake: Pour the cake batter over the peach layer in the bundt pan, smoothing it out to ensure even baking. Bake in the preheated oven for about 70 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean when fully baked.
Cool the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 30 minutes before gently flipping it onto a serving plate.
Glaze the Cake: In a small bowl, prepare the glaze by mixing 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons of whole milk. Drizzle this beautiful glaze over the cake, allowing it to cascade down the sides, then slice and enjoy!

Storing & Reheating

To store any leftover cake, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and keep it at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you need to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to 5 days in an airtight container. For freezing, slice the cake and wrap it securely in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and it can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy your cake, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and reheat slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. Just remember that freezing may alter the texture slightly, but a quick heat-up will revitalize that delicious flavor!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen peaches in this recipe. Just make sure to thaw them, drain any excess liquid, and chop them before adding to the batter for the best results.

How can I make this cake gluten-free?

To adapt this recipe for a gluten-free version, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend that measures cup for cup. Note that the texture may vary slightly but should still yield delicious results.

Can I add spices for extra flavor?

Absolutely! Adding a teaspoon of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter can elevate the flavor and give your cake a warm, spiced aroma that pairs beautifully with the peaches.

How do I know when the cake is done baking?

The best way to test for doneness is by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it, your cake is perfectly baked!
