• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

• 1 cup sliced peaches (fresh or canned)

Instructions for Peach Cobbler Pound Cake

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan or spray it with non-stick baking spray.

Step 2: Prepare the Cake Batter

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed for 3-4 minutes, until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
• Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream and milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
• Gently fold in the diced peaches until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 3: Assemble the Pound Cake

• Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Layer 1/2 cup of the sliced peaches over the batter.
• Pour the remaining cake batter over the peach layer, spreading it evenly.

Step 4: Prepare the Peach Topping

• In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• Arrange the remaining sliced peaches on top of the batter and drizzle the butter mixture over the peaches.

Step 5: Bake the Pound Cake

• Bake in the preheated oven for 75-85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Notes

• Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best results, make sure your butter, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature. This helps create a smooth batter and ensures even baking.
• Peach Options: You can use fresh, canned, or frozen peaches for this recipe. If using frozen peaches, thaw them completely and pat them dry.
• Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined to avoid a dense cake.

Recipe Variations & Substitutions

• Glaze: Drizzle the cooled cake with a simple glaze made of 1 cup powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons milk for added sweetness.
• Spiced Version: Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger to the batter for a spicier flavor.
• Nutty Topping: Sprinkle chopped pecans over the peach topping before baking for added texture and flavor.
