Peach Cobbler Pound Cake is a delicious dessert that combines the flavors of a classic peach cobbler with a moist and flavorful pound cake. Below is a recipe to help you prepare this delightful treat:
Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream
For the peach cobbler layer:
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4-5 peaches)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
For the streusel topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt cake pan or a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the peach cobbler layer: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch until the peaches are well coated. Set aside.
- Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour and granulated sugar. Add the chilled butter pieces and work them into the dry ingredients using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- For the cake: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spread half of the cake batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Layer the peach cobbler mixture on top of the cake batter.
- Carefully spoon the remaining cake batter over the peach layer, spreading it as evenly as possible.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping over the top of the cake.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes.
- After cooling slightly, you can either serve the cake directly from the baking dish or invert it onto a serving platter.
- Optionally, you can serve the Peach Cobbler Pound Cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Enjoy your Peach Cobbler Pound Cake! It’s a perfect dessert to celebrate the peach season or to enjoy any time you crave a delightful and comforting treat.
