Peach Cobbler Pound Cake
This guide shows you how to make a Peach Cobbler Pound Cake. We'll cover ingredients, instructions, tips, and variations.
Equipment
- Baking Pan
- Toothpick
- Wire rack
- Knife
- Spatula
- Vegetable Peeler (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flour All-purpose flour works best.
- 1 pound Butter Use unsalted butter for better flavor control.
- 1 pound Sugar Granulated sugar is standard.
- 1 pound Eggs Large eggs are recommended.
- As needed Peaches Choose ripe, juicy peaches. Adjust quantity to your preference.
- To taste Sugar Add more sugar if peaches are tart, less if they are very sweet.
- A few drops Lemon Juice Balances sweetness if peaches are too sweet.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash the peaches and cut them into small pieces. You can peel them first, or leave the peels on.
- Taste a peach. If it’s very sweet, add a little lemon juice to balance the flavor. If it's tart, add a bit more sugar.
- Bake the cake for 50-60 minutes. Check it after 50 minutes.
- Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, it's done. If there's wet batter on the toothpick, bake for another 5-10 minutes and check again.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, run a thin knife or spatula around the edges to loosen it. Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
This peach cobbler pound cake is delicious on its own. You can also serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. A light drizzle of peach syrup adds extra flavor.
