Scale
- Key Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fresh peaches (peeled and sliced)
- Cobbler Topping:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Optional Add-ins:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon bourbon
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg
Instructions
- Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Grease a bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray.
- Prepare the Peaches:
- Peel and slice the fresh peaches. If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain them well.
- Make the Pound Cake Batter:
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs: Mix in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
- Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Slowly add flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Create the Cobbler Topping:
- In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Layer this mixture with the peach slices at the bottom of the bundt pan.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Pour the pound cake batter over the peach topping in the bundt pan. Tap the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake for 75-85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
