I love the summer for all its bounty. The fabulous berries, squash, melons, and beans just to name a few. But, I especially love the peaches.
Seeing them arrive is bittersweet, though. You are excited to eat them, but it is a sure sign summer produce is coming to an end!
Peach Pound Cake
In anticipation of the fall season and with love of all the summer brings us, I developed this fabulous peach pound cake, which is a combination of two of my favorite desserts... peach cobbler and pound cake.The seasons freshest most flavorful peaches combined with some of my favorite fall flavors.
Vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon combine with a touch of almond and peach Schapps to really bring the flavor home.
Sugared pans, in lieu of floured help to create a fantastic crisp crust, the perfect touch to this melt in your mouth moist pound cake!
As if that isn't enough to make your mouth water, drizzle slices of this incredible cake with a simple brown sugar caramel sauce for the perfect Peach Cobbler Cake! This is 'happy dance in the kitchen' good.
Sometimes you really need to be up inside the cake. This is one of those moments, trust me. You see those beautiful fresh peach chunks in that moist pound cake with that crisp crust... Um... Would you like a napkin? You're drooling. : )
What you will need to make Peach Cobbler Cake:
- Mixing Bowl- I like a variety of mixing bowls and prep bowls and this set has them all.
- Electric Mixer-
With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

Wonderful dessert! My husband would be all over that. I make a pound cake that he likes to slice and put in the toaster. Beautiful and delicious - reason enough to celebrate. Have a wonderful weekend Donna.

ReplyDeleteCan this be made in a traditional bundt pan? Would the recipe still make 2 cakes?
ReplyDeleteI have fresh peaches that I froze this past summer can I thaw some and use them in this cake
ReplyDeleteI froze fresh peaches this past summer,if I thaw them can they be used in the receipe
ReplyDeleteI froze fresh peaches this past summer if I thaw them can they be used
ReplyDeleteI have fresh peaches that I frozen last summer if I thaw then and pat them dry can they be used in this reeipe
ReplyDeleteI'm confused, the recipe says to fold the peaches into the batter. I see peaches on top, not in the cake. What am I missing here?
ReplyDeleteThere is a caramel sauce drizzled over top the peaches are inside. Enjoy and let us know how it goes!
DeleteCan a bundt pan be used instead of loaf pans,????
ReplyDeleteWe have not tested the recipe in a bundt pan. Theoretically it should work. Enjoy and let us know how it goes.
DeleteWorks in a bundt pan!
ReplyDeleteThat's great! Thanks for letting us know!!
DeleteHow large was your bundt and how long did you have to bake it?
DeleteI could not resist commenting. Perfectly written!
ReplyDeleteDo you have to use the peach schnapps? Seems like a big investment for just 2 TBS of use. ANy substitution?
ReplyDeleteCan you bake this in a regular tube pan?
ReplyDeleteCan you use can peaches ? Don't have fresh.
