Ingredients Needed

• 1 ½ cups unsalted butter – using unsalted butter helps you to control the amount of salt in your baking. Softened butter works best in this recipe
• 2 cups granulated sugar – 2 cups of sugar is all you need for this entire cake. You want the natural sweetness of the peaches you shine through
• 3 tbsp brown sugar – this helps to create a beautiful sweet layer on the outside of the cake. Light or dark brown sugar will work
• 4 eggs (separate the yolks from the whites) – you need to separate the eggs prior to use, as you will be whipping the egg whites separately
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¾ cups peach schnapps – to make this recipe alcohol free, you can use the remaining peach juice from the can, or a store-bought peach juice
• ¼ cup buttermilk – buttermilk adds richness and a slight tang to this cake
• 3 cups all-purpose flour – use unbleached flour if possible
• 1 tsp baking powder – baking powder helps the cake rise and keep its shape
• ½ tsp salt – salt helps to balance out the flavors in sweet desserts
• 3 ½ tsp cinnamon – the warm flavor of cinnamon pairs perfectly with the peaches
• 1 tsp nutmeg – another warm spice that adds extra flavor
• 1, 15 ounces can sliced peaches, drained – if you can’t find canned peaches you can use fresh ones (4-5 peaches).

How To Easily Peel Peaches?

The easiest way to peel peaches is to allow them to soak in a bowl of warm water for about 15 minutes.

Remove them from the bowl and take a small spoon and peel away the skin.

Freeze Peach Cobbler Pound Cake

This pound cake can be made ahead of time and frozen.

Allow the cake to completely cool, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3-months. Avoid adding any topping or glaze prior to freezing.

Recipe Tips

1. When folding in the egg whites, make sure to be very gentle. You want to keep as much air in the egg whites as possible, so your cake comes out fluffy
2. All oven temperatures are different. I would suggest starting checking your cake using a toothpick around 60 minutes
3. You can create a glaze to go overtop of the cake using the remaining peach juice and a bit of confectioner’ sugar.

Store and Reheat Peach Cobbler Pound Cake

This cake can be stored in an airtight container on the counter at room temperature for 3-4 days.

You can also keep it in the fridge, and it will last for up to 5-days.

This cake is best served slightly warm, so to reheat it simply place slices in the microwave for 15-20 minutes.
