If there’s one thing I love about fruity cakes, it’s that most are made with real ingredients. Personally, I like making my cakes from scratch because I can adjust the taste to my preference. But more than that, I get to play around with real fruit, chocolate, and any other mouthwatering flavor you can think of! Today’s cake recipe takes the essence of an old-fashioned peach cobbler and turns it into a more decadent treat. My friends and I adore this dessert, especially for a refreshing summer tea. The best part is that you can serve this deliciousness whether or not the fruit is in season.😉
Peach Cobbler Pound Cake With Canned Peaches
This delicious recipe can be made from canned peaches when fresh ones aren’t available, which makes this an all-year-long pleasure! In fact, canned peaches tend to be softer and sweeter than fresh ones. So go ahead, use your favorite canned peach brand. Just be sure to use the correct number of peaches as suggested in the recipe and to drain the peaches well so that any excess syrup doesn’t lead to a gooey peach cobbler.
Recipe Ingredients
How to Make Peach Cobbler Pound Cake
Prep the Peaches
Peel and Slice the peaches. (Photos 1-2) Make the Cinnamon Sugar – Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Sprinkle half the sugar mixture on the peaches, then the melted butter and bourbon. (Photo 3) Grease a large Bundt or tube pan generously with cooking spray and set aside. Place half of the peach slices on the bottom of the pan in a single layer, layer half the cinnamon sugar, vanilla, and bourbon, then set aside. (Photo 4)
Make the Pound Cake
The Batter – Cream the butter and sugar at high speed in a stand mixer or using a hand mixer until it’s fluffy and looks white, 3-5 minutes. (Photos 5-6) Add More – First, add cream cheese and continue mixing for two more minutes. Stir in the eggs, one at a time, beating the mixture well between each addition. (Photo 7) Final Stretch – Mix flour, baking powder, and salt into the batter, followed by vanilla extract and milk. Stir well until everything is thoroughly combined. DO NOT overmix. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl. (Photos 8-9)
Assembly
Assemble – Spoon half of the batter over the peach slices and spread it out with a spatula. Then layer the remaining peaches on the batter, sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar mixture, and top with the remaining cake batter. (Photos 10-13) Bake – Tap pans on the work surface to eliminate large air bubbles. To be safe, place it on a baking tray just in case of spills. Bake at 300℉/150℃ until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer the cake to a plate and let it cool. (Photo 14) Make the Icing – Whisk together confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, adding a few drops more milk as needed to make the glaze smooth and pourable. Drizzle – Drizzle as much as you like over the cake with a fork or spoon. Slice and serve.

Pound cakes are actually one of the better bakes to make ahead and store in your freezer, as they keep quite well. And they thaw perfectly the day before you eat them. To freeze, allow the cake to cool completely, and then wrap it in plastic wrap twice, followed by aluminum foil. It should keep well for 4-6 months. Have you ever eaten frozen pound cake?
