Peach Cobbler Pound Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup whole milk
2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (canned peaches can be used if fresh aren’t available, but drain them well)
For the Streusel Topping:
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
Instructions:
1.Prepare the Oven and Pan:
-Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
-Grease and flour a bundt pan or tube pan.
2.Make the Streusel Topping:
-In a medium-sized bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add in the diced cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
3.Cake Batter:
-In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
-Fold in the diced peaches.
4.Assemble and Bake:
-Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
-Sprinkle half of the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
-Add the remaining batter on top and then sprinkle the rest of the streusel on top.
-Bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
-Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
5.Optional Glaze (for added sweetness and presentation):
-Mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream, adjusting the consistency to your liking. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
Serve this Peach Cobbler Pound Cake with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat! Enjoy!
