Ingredients for Peach Cobbler Pound Cake

Butter: This is a key ingredient in the pound cake. We used unsalted butter. Make sure to pull this out of the fridge about a half hour before starting to allow it to come to room temperature.

Sugar: This recipe uses both white and brown sugar, which add sweetness and contribute to the moist texture of the cake. Brown sugar also imparts a slight caramel flavor.

Eggs: Eggs are essential to help bind the ingredients together. Pull them out of the fridge about a half hour before starting so they have a chance to come to room temperature.

Milk: You could also use buttermilk for a slightly tangy flavor.

Flour: Be careful not to overmix once you've added the flour, as this can lead to a tough cake.

Baking Powder: This is the leavening agent in the recipe, which helps the cake to rise.

Peaches: Choose fresh, ripe peaches.

Powdered Sugar and Milk (for the icing): These two ingredients are combined to create a simple icing that adds an extra layer of sweetness to the cake.

How to Make Peach Cobbler Pound Cake

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F and greasing a 9x5 loaf pan.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until well incorporated.

Then, add the eggs and milk to this butter mixture and mix until blended.

Next, add the flour and baking powder to the butter/sugar mixture and blend until the flour is mixed in. Be careful not to overmix at this stage.

Fold in the diced peaches until they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the pound cake cool completely before icing.

While the cake is cooling, you can prepare the icing. Simply whip together the powdered sugar and milk until the icing is smooth and free of lumps.

Once the cake is cool, drizzle the icing over the top.

Cut into slices and enjoy! Remember to store any leftovers in an airtight container.

Tips for Making the Best Peach Cobbler Pound Cake

• Use Ripe Peaches: For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy peaches.
• Don't Overmix the Batter: Once you've added the flour to the batter, mix just until it's incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a dense and tough cake.
• Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking the cake for doneness around the 40-minute mark. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
• Cool Completely Before Icing: Make sure the cake is completely cool before drizzling the icing on top. If the cake is still warm, the icing will melt and run off the cake.
• Use Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best texture, make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before starting.

Leftovers

Storing leftovers of your Peach Cobbler Pound Cake is simple to do.

Once the cake has completely cooled, slice any remaining cake and store the slices in an airtight container. The cake will stay fresh at room temperature for about 2-3 days.

If you want to extend the life of your cake, you can also store it in the refrigerator. This will keep it fresh for up to a week. Transfer the peach pound cake to an airtight container or cover it in the bread pan with plastic wrap and stick in the fridge.

For longer storage, you can freeze the cake. Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil or place them in a freezer-safe bag. The cake can be frozen for up to 3 months.

When you're ready to enjoy a slice, let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a few hours.

What to Serve With

The Peach Cobbler Pound Cake is a versatile dessert that pairs well with a variety of additions. Here are a few suggestions:

Ice Cream: A scoop of vanilla ice cream is a classic pairing with any warm dessert, and this pound cake is no exception.

Whipped Cream: A dollop of whipped cream on top of a slice of this cake is delicious.

Fresh Fruit: Serve slices of the pound cake with fresh peaches.

Coffee or Tea: This pound cake is perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.
