Ingredients

Scale

Peach Mixture

  • 4 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Pound Cake Batter

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free variation)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Peel and slice the peaches, then toss them with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes to release juices and tenderize the fruit.
  2. Make the Pound Cake Batter: Cream softened butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, mixing gently to keep the batter tender.
  3. Assemble the Cake: Pour half the batter into a greased loaf pan. Layer half of the peach mixture on top, then repeat with the remaining batter and peaches to create juicy fruit pockets throughout.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The top should be golden and caramelized from the peaches’ natural sugars.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature to enjoy the moist, fruity flavors.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches that yield slightly when pressed for best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender cake texture.
  • Distribute peaches evenly to prevent soggy spots.
  • Check for doneness starting at 60 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  • Allow cake to rest after baking to set the structure and enhance flavors.
  • Coat peach slices lightly with flour if you want to prevent them from sinking.
