Two Step Fresh Peach Pound Cake Recipe

  • Author: Lusine Svetlana

Description

If you’re searching for a rich, moist, and delicious dessert that perfectly highlights the sweetness of fresh peaches, this Two Step Fresh Peach Pound Cake Recipe is an excellent choice. Infused with the unique boozy flavor of peach schnapps, this pound cake delivers a decadent taste experience that’s ideal for summer gatherings, afternoon tea, or simply satisfying your sweet tooth.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (sifted once)
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups butter, at room temperature
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup peach schnapps (with substitutions available)
  • 6 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 and ½ cups fresh peaches, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Prepare a 10-inch (16-cup) tube pan by spraying with cake release spray or coating with vegetable shortening and granulated sugar.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the ingredients in this order: flour, sugar, butter, buttermilk, peach schnapps, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Using an electric mixer, beat at low speed for 1 minute.
  5. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl to mix evenly.
  6. Beat again at medium speed for 2 minutes.
  7. Gently fold in the diced fresh peaches by hand.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan.
  9. Bake for 1 hour 25 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes.
  10. Check doneness by inserting a wooden pick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  11. Remove cake from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
  12. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving tray.
  13. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  14. Optional: Drizzle with cream cheese glaze while the cake is still warm.

Notes

  • Serve the peach pound cake sliced, either plain or topped with a cream cheese glaze for extra flavor.
  • Pair it with fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep the cake moist and fresh.
  • Keep the cake refrigerated if not serving within a few hours, especially because of the fresh peaches and glaze.
  • Before serving chilled cake, let it sit at room temperature for about 15–20 minutes to soften slightly for the best texture.
