Peach Cobbler Pound Cake
Peach Cobbler Pound Cake blends a rich, cream cheese and butter-based batter with fresh or sliced peaches, layered over a brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and clove mixture in a bundt pan. Peach slices line the bottom to create a cobbler-inspired topping after baking. The cake produces a moist, dense crumb complemented by the warm spiced peach topping and cream cheese icing.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 8 oz. cream cheese room temperature, 1 block
- 1 cup butter room temperature, salted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 5 egg room temperature
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 24 oz. peaches Approx 3 ½ - 4 cups. sliced peaches, or an equivalent amount of fresh peaches (should weigh the same once they’re peeled and sliced, fresh or frozen
- ¼ cup butter melted, salted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
Icing
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 2-3 Tablespoons cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325º. Lightly grease a 12-cup bundt cake pan with shortening, butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well and set aside.
- In a larger mixing bowl (at least 4 quarts), beat cream cheese, 1 cup butter, and sugar together until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add vanilla, and beat in eggs, one at a time, beating between each until fully incorporated. Beat in sour cream until well mixed.
- Stir in dry ingredients just until combined.
- Chop 2 cups of peaches into small pieces (½ - ¾ inch pieces), and add to batter. Slice the remaining peaches into wedges and set aside.
- In a small bowl, melt butter in a microwave (or small saucepan) and stir together with brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Pour the brown sugar and butter mixture into the bottom of the prepared Bundt pan evenly.
- Line remaining peach slices along the bottom of the pan about ½ an inch apart.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan (gently so you don't jostle the peach wedges) and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 70-75 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the deepest part comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 6-8 minutes.
- Use a butter knife or icing spatula to loosen sides of cake from pan if needed, and turn over onto a large platter to finish cooling. (*See note below if peaches stick to pan)
Icing
- While the cake cools, make the icing glaze. Combine melted butter, 2 tablespoons of cream, vanilla, and powdered icing sugar. Beat well until the icing reaches a thick, but pourable consistency. Add more cream, a teaspoon at a time if needed, to reach the right consistency.
- Drizzle vanilla glaze over the cooled cake and let set for a few minutes or up to a day. Slice and serve.
Notes
- If using unsalted butter, add ½ teaspoon salt to the dry ingredients to balance the flavors.
- When removing the cake from the bundt pan, peaches may stick slightly; gently lift them from the pan and place them back on the cake while it cools.
