    Peaches are one of my favorite fruits and I love incorporating them in my bakes. I like the cakes with chunks of fruits in it as it make them taste heavenly. Imagine a bite of a moist pound cake with juicy peach in it. A cake cannot get any better than that. For the past few days, I wanted to bake my all time favorite peach cake. But I couldn't find big ripe peaches from grocery stores, as they are not in the season. You may still find them in the stores, but the quality is bad and you may not use them in the bakes. No fresh peaches? No problem, the canned peaches are just as good for this delicious, moist and fragrant cake.

    I am a pound cake lover and my several pound cake recipes on this blog show my admiration to this old yet trendy bake. Over the years, I have tried/modified my regular pound cake recipe incorporating different ingredients and thus you will find several pound cakes recipes on this blog such as Cream Cheese Pound Cake, Lemon Yogurt Cake, Sour Cream Pound Cake and my most favorite Southern Pecan Praline Cake.

    Origin of Pound Cake

    The original pound cake recipe was simple and carried one pound of flour, eggs, butter and sugar. Hence, getting the name Pound Cake. The cake originated in Britain in the 1700’s. Traditionally, the British didn't use any leavening agent and added air in the batter using the creaming method, which helped in rising the cake.

    The original pound cake was simple and heavy at 4 pounds (1 pound of each ingredient). It was enough to feed large families. The recipe changed overtime and was adjusted for much smaller quantities. With all the changes and variation the basic ratio (1:1:1:1) of ingredients remained the same and the name ‘pound cake’ stuck forever. The pound cakes that we bake and consume these days are much lighter as compared to the original recipe.

    Fresh or Canned Peaches

    As I mentioned earlier I couldn't find ripe peaches from my local farmers market or grocery store. I brought peaches for this recipe which looked good from the outside, however, when I tried to peel and cut them, they were rotten from the inside. I guess, I will have to wait until Summers to enjoy the real taste of the fruit.

    If you have fresh peaches - great, use them. If not, go for the canned peaches as I did in this recipe.

    Brown Sugar Cinnamon / Cobbler Mixture

    The cobbler mixture is simple to put together with only three ingredients. It enhances the overall flavor of this pound cake giving it the aroma and adding to the juicy flavor of the peaches that you will feel in the bite.

    Variations

    Chocolate Ganache: If you are a chocolate lover, pour down the chocolate ganache on the cake to give it an oomph flavor.

    Dollop of Whipped Cream: Use a dollop of the whipped cream and it pairs greatly with this cake.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned peaches?

    Yes, by all means use the fresh peaches. I didn’t use the fresh peaches because I didn’t find ripe peaches. You will need to do some working with the fresh peaches. Peel the skin and take out the pits out of the fruit and cut it into wedges. Use 4 medium sized peaches for this recipe that should give you 1 cup of peaches required for this recipe.

    How can I ensure the cake will not stick in the Bundt pan?

    It can be tricky at times to release the cake properly from the deep Bundt cake pans. I use baking spray on the Bundt cake pans right before I am ready to put the cake in the oven. Do not grease the cake beforehand or the spray will collect in the bottom of the pan.

    Why do we bake this cake at 325 F?

    Pound cakes are heavier with a dense crumb and therefore require more time in the oven to cook properly. This cake will take anywhere from 70 – 90 minutes to bake at 325 F.

    Can I bake this cake ahead of time?

    Yes, you may bake the cake ahead of time. I bake it one day before serving it.

    How to Store

    Storing this peach cobbler cake is simple. Just follow the simple instructions below.

    On the Counter: This cake will stay fresh in an air-tight container on the counter for one day.

    In the Fridge: This cake will keep fresh in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.

    In the Freezer:
     I do not suggest freezing this cake because the fruit in the cake will become watery once taken out of the freezer and thawed. Also, the fruits in the cake add moisture which will spoil after you thaw the cake.

      The recipe does not state the amount of brown sugar. Also is 1 cup of peaches correct? Looks more like 2 to me. Thank you. This looks yummy.
