Peach Cobbler Pound Cake

A Southern Love Story in Every Bite

Introduction

There are desserts, and then there are memories baked in sugar. The Peach Cobbler Pound Cake is a culinary masterpiece that marries the warm, cinnamon-laced heart of a Southern peach cobbler with the rich, buttery soul of a classic pound cake.

Born from Southern roots where Sunday dinners ended with something sweet on Grandma’s china, this dessert captures nostalgia, warmth, and celebration. It’s a cake for lovers — lovers of good food, of soulful flavors, and of sweet moments shared over coffee or sweet tea.

Let’s take a deep dive into the layers of this sweet masterpiece — from juicy peach filling to the moist, spiced cake, crowned with golden syrup and love.

History

The pound cake traces its origins to Europe, where its name came from its original recipe: a pound each of flour, butter, sugar, and eggs. Over time, it evolved across cultures, becoming a staple in American homes.

Peach cobbler, on the other hand, is a Southern U.S. invention born out of necessity and ingenuity. With the lack of ovens during westward expansion, early settlers would stew fruits and top them with dough, cooking them over open fires. When fresh peaches were in season, cobbler became a go-to comfort.

This fusion dessert combines both in glorious union — a dense, velvety pound cake with pockets of cinnamon-spiced peach cobbler tucked inside and on top.

Ingredients

For the Peach Cobbler Filling:

  • 3 large ripe peaches (or 2 cans Freestone peaches in juice)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup orange juice (fresh is best!)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (for thickening)

For the Pound Cake Batter:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1½ cups unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Equipment Needed:

  • Bundt pan (large size)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Toothpick (for doneness testing)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches (sliced), butter, brown and white sugars, orange juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  2. Let simmer until bubbly (around 8–10 minutes).
  3. Dissolve cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the peach mixture.
  4. Simmer for another 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Set aside.

Step 2: Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Generously butter and flour a Bundt cake pan. Set it aside.

Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.

Step 4: Cream the Butter & Sugar

  • In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 4–5 minutes).
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
  • Stir in vanilla and almond extracts.

Step 5: Combine Wet & Dry

  • Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the butter-sugar mixture. Start and end with flour.
  • Mix gently — do not overmix. The batter should be smooth and thick.

Step 6: Layer & Fill

  1. Pour half of the batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
  2. Spoon in a layer of the peach filling (leaving some for the topping).
  3. Add the remaining batter on top and smooth it out.

Step 7: Bake

  • Bake at 350°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Check with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.

Step 8: Add the Final Touch

  • Spoon the remaining peach cobbler filling over the top of the cake.
  • Let it cascade down the sides — it’s beautiful, rustic, and absolutely irresistible.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve warm or room temperature.
  • Top with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Pair with sweet tea, coffee, or even a peach mimosa for brunch.
