Peach Cobbler Pound Cake Recipe: A Sweet Southern Twist

Step 1: Prepare the Peach Base

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. Grease and flour a bundt pan.

3. In a bowl, mix the peaches, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon.

4. Spread this mixture evenly at the bottom of the bundt pan—this will create that signature cobbler-style layer.

Step 2: Make the Pound Cake Batter

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, oil, and sugar until light and fluffy.

2. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.

3. Add vanilla, then mix in sour cream.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, mixing until smooth.

Step 3: Assemble & Bake

1. Pour the batter over the peach layer in the bundt pan.

2. Smooth the top with a spatula.

3. Bake for 70–80 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

4. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully flip onto a serving plate to reveal the caramelized peach topping.

Step 4: Add the Finishing Touch

• Drizzle with a simple vanilla glaze for extra sweetness, or serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for that authentic cobbler feel.

Tips for Success

• Fresh peaches give the best flavor, but canned peaches work well in off-season. Just drain them thoroughly.

• Don’t rush the bake—pound cake is dense, so low and slow baking ensures it cooks evenly.

• Spice it up: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for a cozy, aromatic twist.
