Peach Cobbler Pound Cake: A Sweet, Buttery Twist on Two Classics!

3. Prepare the Pound Cake Batter

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
5. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Assemble the Cake

1. Pour half of the pound cake batter into the prepared loaf pan.
2. Spoon the peach mixture over the batter, spreading it evenly.
3. Pour the remaining batter on top, smoothing it gently with a spatula.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the topping ingredients (brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter) and sprinkle evenly over the top of the cake.

5. Bake the Cake

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
2. If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil.

6. Cool and Serve

1. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes.
2. Carefully remove the cake and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Slice thickly and serve as is, or top with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Tips for the Perfect Peach Cobbler Pound Cake

• Use ripe peaches for maximum flavor and natural sweetness.
• Room temperature ingredients ensure a smooth, even batter.
• Don’t overmix once you combine the wet and dry ingredients – it keeps the cake tender.
• Optional glaze: Mix ½ cup powdered sugar with 1–2 tsp milk and drizzle over the cooled cake for added sweetness and presentation.
