Peach Perfection: Your New Favorite Pound Cake Recipe
You know those juicy peaches you’ve been seeing at your local market lately? Well, go ahead and buy some so you can bake this deliciously moist pound cake.
I can’t get enough of baking with peaches during these warm months. They not only add an irresistible flavor but also a lovely moistness to the cake. Trust me, if you’re a peach lover, you’re going to absolutely love this recipe.
Ingredients
You’ll find all the simple ingredients to make this moist cake at your local grocery store:
Pound Cake Batter
- All-purpose unb leached flour: Holds our cake up. Use unbleached to help keep the cake’s crumb tender and moist.
- Sugar: Makes everything sweet and helps the cake get that awesome golden color.
- Unsalted butter: Brings in the richness and keeps the cake moist. Plus, we get to control how salty the cake gets.
- Cream cheese: Adds a little tang and makes the cake super creamy. It’s like the best friend to our peaches.
- Large eggs: These guys hold everything together and make the cake fluffy.
- Vanilla extract: A dash improves all the flavors and brings out the natural sweetness of the peaches. A little goes a long way.
- Ripe peaches: Juicy, sweet, and make every bite feel like summer. Fresh works best, but you can use canned peaches if you’re stuck – just drain well.
- Salt: A little pinch helps wake up the other flavors.
Topping
- Peach slices: They’re like little slices of sunshine on top of the cake.
- Brown sugar: Brings in that caramelly sweetness and sticks to the peaches like a cozy blanket.
- Butter: Melted and mixed in, butter helps the brown sugar stick to the peaches and gives the topping a rich, glossy look.

Expert Peach Cobbler Pound Cake Recipe Tips
For best results, follow these expert tips – and this delicious dessert will be perfect every time.
- Skip the Almond: Some folks add almond extract, but I find it too overpowering. Let the peach flavor shine!
- Room Temp Rules: Room temperature butter, cream cheese, and eggs blend way smoother. Your batter will thank you.
- Sift Well: Sift your flour mixture. I know I say this over and over, but it really does make a difference!
- Watchful Eye: Keep an eye on your cake while it’s baking. This cake isn’t a set-and-forget deal.
- Cool It: Let the cake cool completely before inverting it onto your favorite plate!
- Sweet Perfection: This recipe needs sweet peaches – so, aim to make this beauty during peak peach season.
The Right Pan Makes All the Difference
We’re making this cake in a bundt cake pan, which is my go-to for pound cakes. If you don’t have one, I highly recommend Wilton bundt pans. They’re affordable, top-quality, and non-stick.
How to Serve
When it comes to serving this Peach Cobbler Pound Cake, you’ve got a lot of choices!
You can go all out with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for that extra yum factor. Or, how about a dollop of fresh whipped cream? You could even keep it simple with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
If you’re feeling really fancy, a drizzle of caramel sauce makes for a real showstopper. Your cake, your rules!
How to Store
Got leftovers? No worries, here’s how to keep your peach dessert tasting fresh:
- Next-Day Plan: If you’re not serving your cake until the next day, just leave it in the bundt pan. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and pop it into the fridge. About two hours before serving, take it out to let it come to room temp.
- Airtight Magic: For longer storage, you can also place slices in an airtight container. This will keep your cake moist and delicious for up to a week in the fridge. Just be sure to let it sit at room temperature for a bit before diving in. Trust me, it’s worth the wait!
FAQs
Here are some questions people have asked me:
What kind of flour should I use?
I use regular all-purpose unbleached flour. I always sift my dry ingredients, and I’ve never had a problem.
Many pound cake recipes call for cake flour – that already contains baking powder. There’s no need to use this self-raising flour in our recipe.
How do I make a peach cobbler pound cake recipe from scratch?
Just bake along with our recipe! Be sure to sift the flour, blend the butter, sugar, and cream cheese together really well, using either an electric mixer (hand mixer) or a stand mixer.
How do I make a moist pound cake?
Want a moist pound cake that melts in your mouth? Start by using fresh, room-temperature ingredients.
Remember to sift your dry ingredients and mix them just until they’re combined; overmixing is a moisture killer.
Finally, let the cake cool in its pan to seal in that delicious moisture, and store it properly in an airtight container.

Hi Judy,
I would really like to make this pound cake BUT have some concerns. I’m an excellent baker as well as a baker of pound cakes.
Just wondering if you used a kitchen scale to measure the flour and sugar?
Did you sift and then measure or did you measure and then sift? It sounds like you measured and then sifted. It’s not clear in your directions.
Thanks much
Hi Renee, yes I use a kitchen scale and I usually sift first, then measure the sifted dry ingredients. Thanks!
Hi. I am anxious to make this cake, but I do have a question about “step 5. Mix flour in a bowl.”
I assume the flour then goes into butter, sugar, egg mixture is that correct. Thank you.
Hi Resa that’s correct. I’ll up date the recipe to make it clear. Add the flour mixture gradually to the wet mixture.
This looks amazing, can I use peaches I froze last year?
Hi Tammy! Sure you can, just make sure you drain the extra juice before mixing the peaches with the brown sugar and butter. Enjoy!
I see that it is to be put in a cold oven to start. Is this correct?
Hi Gene, that is correct! I know it sounds crazy, but it really works. Enjoy.
The directions on this cake does not tell you when to add vanilla flavor or the salt. Be careful and take a lucky guess. Good recipe though.
I totally loved this cake. I made it for my ex-husband’s Birthday and it was a hit. a BIG hit. He loves peach cobbler anyway so I just made this cake. It is the best cake ever. I will be making this all the time from now on. Thank you for this Beautiful recipe and God Bless…
Hi Donna. Can I say a huge THANK YOU! You’ve just made my week. We really love that cake here at home too, and I think I should make it again soon. Have a lovely day. xo
