Peach Cobbler Pound Cake

There’s something magical about combining two classic desserts into one irresistible treat. This Peach Cobbler Pound Cake has quickly become a staple in my home, and I’m thrilled to share it with you. Picture this: tender, juicy peaches layered over a rich, buttery pound cake, topped with a sweet crumbly streusel. It’s a dessert that feels like a warm hug and tastes like a slice of summer.

The first time I made this, it was a last-minute dessert idea for a family dinner. I had fresh peaches on hand and a craving for something comforting but impressive. Little did I know, this cake would steal the show. My kids devoured their slices before I even sat down, and my husband asked for seconds (and then thirds!). It’s now a must-make for potlucks, holidays, and even quiet weekends when we want something special.

What I love most about this recipe is its versatility. You can make it with fresh, frozen, or canned peaches, and it’s equally delicious every time. Plus, it pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This dessert brings everyone together, and there’s always a story to share over each slice. Trust me, once you try it, you’ll find yourself reaching for this recipe again and again.

Questions I Often Get Asked About This Recipe

Can I use frozen peaches?
Absolutely! Just thaw them first and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.

What if I don’t have a stand mixer?
No worries! A hand mixer or even a whisk and some elbow grease will work just fine.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, this cake stores well. Wrap it tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Bring it to room temperature before serving, or warm it slightly for that fresh-from-the-oven taste.

Is there a gluten-free version?
You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free 1:1 baking mix. The texture might be slightly different, but it’s still delicious.

How to Make Peach Cobbler Pound Cake

Preheat the oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish and set aside.

Make the pound cake batter: In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla.

Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Fold in the diced peaches.

Prepare the streusel topping: Mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in the butter until crumbly.

Assemble the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared dish. Sprinkle the streusel evenly on top.

Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool slightly before serving.

Tips for Making the Best Peach Cobbler Pound Cake

Choose ripe peaches: If using fresh peaches, pick ones that are slightly soft to the touch for maximum sweetness and flavor.

Don’t skip the buttermilk: It adds moisture and a slight tang, which balances the sweetness perfectly.

Add a pinch of nutmeg: For an extra layer of warm flavor, mix a pinch of nutmeg into the streusel.

Serve it warm: This cake is heavenly when served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
