How to make peach cobbler pound cake:
- Preheat the oven. Set to 300 degrees F. While the oven warms up, grease a large bundt pan generously with cooking spray.
- Combine the butter and sugar with a stand mixer. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and cream cheese until combined. Then add in the eggs, one at a time, combining after each egg.
- Add the vanilla extract. Combine with the other ingredients thoroughly.
- Gradually add the flour. Add ½ cup at a time as you mix at low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as you mix ensuring that the flour mixture is fully combined together. Finally, add the salt.
- Gently fold the diced peaches into the cake batter. Next, set the batter aside while you prepare the cake topping.
- Melt the butter for the cake. Use a medium size microwave safe bowl to melt the butter. Then mix the melted butter with the brown sugar.
- Add the remaining peach slices. Place the sliced peaches in the bottom of the greased bundt pan. Cover the slices with the brown sugar and melted butter mixture.
- Pour the cake batter on top. Try to pour this as evenly as possible on the cake batter. Gently tap the bundt pan on the counter to eliminate any large air bubbles.
- Bake at 300 degrees F. The cake needs to bake for 60-70 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow to cool. Remove the cake from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. This should take about 20 to 30 minutes.
How to make the glaze:
While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze.
- Combine the glaze ingredients. Whisk together the confectioner’s sugar, vanilla extract and milk. Once combined, gradually add the milk to the mixture until the glaze is the consistency that you prefer.
- Invert the cake. Once the cake has cooled completely, invert the cake onto your favorite cake pan. Drizzle the glaze generously on top and slice. Serve and enjoy!
How long to cook a peach cobbler pound cake?
The cake takes about 60 to 70 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Oven temperatures vary so the oven to 350 is an option. Just keep a close watch on the cake and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Can you use canned peaches instead of fresh peaches?
Either option is suitable in this recipe. Obviously, the fresh option will require more preparation and work.
Just use which you prefer. Both will be delicious in the cake. I have used both and the results tasted amazing with either option.
I often use what I already have on hand or if it is peach season. Feel free to use what it is easiest for you.
How to store:
Cover and place in the fridge. It will last up to 4 to 5 days if stored properly.
This cake is not suitable to freeze due to the fruit in the recipe. The excess moisture from the fruit will make the cake soggy as it thaws.
Tips and Tricks:
- Generously coat the bundt pan with cooking spray to you do not have difficulty removing the cake. The nooks and crannies of this style pan can be challenging if not coated properly.
- It is crucial that you do not attempt to invert the cake until it has completely cooled. Attempting to do this too soon, will result in a crumbled cake.
- Ripe peaches produce the most flavorful cake if utilizing fresh fruit. The natural sweetness will enhance the cake ingredients.
- You can ripen the peaches rapidly by placing the fruit inside a paper bag and lightly closing the bag. The oxygen in the bag will ripen the fruit quickly.
- Ensure the cake has properly cooled before slicing. This will ensure it does not crumble and stays intact.
- This recipe is best with room temperature ingredients. The cake batter will combine smoother and result in a creamier texture.

YUMMY!!!
Can boxed pound cake be used to make this peach cobbler pound cake?
I haven’t tried it but I think you could.
I can’t wait to bake the peach cobbler pound cake! Thanks for the recipes
Can’t wait to get home and try this! Sounds like a perfect spring desert.
I’m going to try this one
Looks like a great cake. However if you’re not going to post measurements, don’t post instructions. Some people actually want to try recipes they see on these sights.
If you click on the “jump to recipe” button it takes you right down to the recipe card with all the measurements.
This cake was so good. I used canned peaches and I used the peach juice to make the glaze instead of milk. I also only drizzled a small amount of glaze over cake and put the rest in center so if someone wanted sweeter they could take a spoonful. It was a big hit! Will make this again! I think the texture was more like a cheese cake!
I love that idea. So glad you loved it!
I plan to make this cake for the holidays. I was thinking of trying frozen peaches. What do you think.? Which is best in your opinion, can or frozen?
I would probably try the frozen first.
