Peach Cobbler Pound Cake Recipe: A Sweet Southern Twist

Step 3: Assemble the Cake

1. Pour half of the pound cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
2. Spoon half of the spiced peach mixture over the batter.
3. Pour the remaining batter over the peaches and top with the remaining peach slices.
4. Optionally, lightly sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar over the top for added caramelization.

Step 4: Bake the Cake

1. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
2. If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil for the remaining baking time.
3. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Step 5: Prepare the Glaze (Optional)

1. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk or peach juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
2. Drizzle over the cooled cake for a shiny, sweet finish.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

1. Slice the cake and serve on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a true Southern indulgence.
2. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.

Tips for Perfect Peach Cobbler Pound Cake

• Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. If using frozen, thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture.
• Room temperature ingredients (butter, eggs, buttermilk) ensure a smooth, evenly baked cake.
• Avoid overmixing once the dry ingredients are added; it helps keep the pound cake tender.
• Customize the spices by adding a pinch of cloves or ginger to the peach mixture for a unique twist.
