Peach Cobbler Pound Cake Ingredient Notes
Alright, I’m not gonna lie: the real stars are the peaches. You can use fresh, canned, or even frozen if that’s all you’ve got chilling in your freezer. Canned ones? Just drain ‘em real good, or things get a bit soupy. Sugar (yeah, regular white works, but light brown gives a cozy twist) and unsalted butter are important too, because butter makes everything friendlier.
Vanilla—don’t skip it. Even the cheap stuff’s better than none (just my two cents). Sour cream helps the pound cake become silky inside. I once used Greek yogurt and survived, but it’s a tiny bit tangier. Some folks add cinnamon like they’re making a pie, and honestly, that’s not wrong. And for flour: just stick with all-purpose. No need to grab your neighbor’s fancy stuff.
Peaches. Sugar. Butter. A splash of vanilla. Nothing mysterious or intimidating. Those basics are the backbone to big flavor!
How to make peach cobbler pound cake
Here’s where you skip all that bakery mumbo jumbo and just dive in. Start by creaming the butter and sugar together until it gets all fluffy—it takes a few minutes, so I usually let my mixer do the work while I daydream about dessert. Toss in the eggs one at a time (I won’t tell if you drop a bit of shell, just fish it out).
Dry ingredients? Mix them up separately, then add in slowly. Sour cream and vanilla come next for that almost creamy texture. Fold in those peaches last; I like big chunks, but you do you. Grease a bundt pan real good (nobody likes a cake stuck to the pan—learned that the hard way). Pour in the batter and pop it in the oven. About an hour. That’s when your house starts to smell crazy good.
If you want extra cobbler vibes, melt some butter and sugar and drizzle it on top before baking. Game changer, honestly. If you like quick desserts too, you’ll wanna check out this 3 ingredient peach cobbler dump cake for a shortcut!

Recipe Tips
Wanna know my secrets? Sure you do.
It’s all about the butter temperature. Not melted, not straight from the fridge—just soft enough to squish.
Don’t overbeat once you add in peaches. It messes with the texture.
Let your cake cool a bit before you try removing it from the pan. Or you get a mess. Ask my dog.
If you mess up the glaze, that’s okay. Powdered sugar + milk, stir quick, and pretend it’s fancy.
Seriously, imperfections taste amazing in this cake. It’s pretty forgiving, promise.
For more fruity goodness, try a blueberry cheesecake parfait or explore peaches and cream trifle. Both winners for family get-togethers!

So you want to get that irresistible crust but don’t want it dry, right? Here’s what worked for me: sprinkling a touch of cinnamon sugar inside the greased pan before pouring in the batter. It makes the outside taste like cobbler topping! Also, don’t fear canned peaches, truly. Sometimes they’re even sweeter and juicier than the fresh ones you get off-season—southerners, please don’t come for me on that.
If your cake flops (happens to the best of us), just slice and layer with ice cream in a bowl. Call it “trifle” and suddenly you’re the cleverest baker at the table. Oh, and if you love creative cake ideas, this butterfinger bundt cake is a total smash at any party.
