Peach Cobbler Bundt Cake Ingredients
Peach cobbler pound cake tastes like nothing you’ve had before – it’s absolutely heavenly!

- ⅓ cup of light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 3 cups + 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder

- 2½ cups of granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Optional Garnish
- 1 (15-ounce) can of sliced peaches in juice, drained

Peach Cobbler Cake Substitutions And Additions
PEACHES: Be sure to use canned peaches in juice, not the ones in heavy syrup or peach pie filling. You do not want the extra sugars from the heavy syrup or pie filling. Fresh peaches work wonderfully as well if they are ripe and in season.
You will want to blanch and peel your fresh peaches if you use them. If you only have access to frozen sliced peaches, then you will need to thaw them completely and drain off all the additional juices really well before using them.
SOUR CREAM: If you’re looking for a lighter option, you can replace sour cream with plain Greek yogurt. The consistency might be slightly different, but the overall taste will still be delightful.
How To Make Peach Cobbler Pound Cake
The first step in making this cake is to line the bottom of the bundt pan with slices of peaches and a spiced brown sugar mixture.
This means once you flip the cake over after baking, there will be juicy peach slices and a sweet topping all around the top of this yummy cake.
Next, you will make the actual cake batter before pouring that into the pan and baking. Once the cake has cooled according to our instructions below, you will invert it onto a plate and reveal a scrumptious peach dessert.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
If you do not have a bundt pan, you can make this peach cobbler pound cake in two 8×4½-inch or two 9×5-inch loaf pans. The 9×5 pans will not be quite as full if you use them. You will need to check for doneness at the 1-hour mark.
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray a 12-cup bundt cake pan with baker’s spray. Set aside.
PRO TIP:
Be sure to spray your pans well with baker’s spray to ensure that your cake comes out clean. The brown sugar and peaches really caramelize in the pan, and if not sprayed well, the cake will stick to the pan.
STEP TWO: Drain one (15-ounce) can of sliced peaches and place the peach slices decoratively into each of the crevices in the bottom of the prepared bundt pan.
STEP THREE: Chop the remaining can of drained sliced peaches into ¼ to ½ inch-sized pieces. You should have 1 to 1¼ cups of chopped peaches. Set aside the chopped peaches in a small bowl.
STEP FOUR: In a small bowl, stir together the light brown sugar, cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
STEP FIVE: Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the peaches in the bottom of the bundt pan. Set aside.
STEP SIX: In a medium bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
STEP SEVEN: In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar on medium-low speed for 2 to 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. You may need to scrape down the bowl and paddle attachment halfway through to ensure that you have a smooth and creamy texture.
STEP EIGHT: With the mixer on low, add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, to the beaten butter mixture. Be sure to allow each egg to become fully incorporated before adding the next one. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
STEP NINE: Add half the flour mixture to the beaten butter and eggs and mix on low speed until incorporated.
PRO TIP:
Don’t worry if your batter looks a little curdled (or separated) once the eggs are added. That is normal, and when the flour and sour cream are added, it will all come together to create a smooth and thick batter.
STEP TEN: Mix the sour cream into the pound cake batter until fully incorporated, followed by the remaining dry ingredients.
Mix just until all the ingredients are incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
STEP ELEVEN: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the reserved bowl of drained and chopped peaches.
Stir to coat the peaches. This helps keep the peaches from sinking to the bottom of the batter.
STEP TWELVE: Fold the chopped peaches gently into the batter. Transfer the batter to the prepared bundt pan, being careful not to disturb the decorative peach slices in the bottom.
When the bundt pan is flipped over to serve your peach cobbler pound cake, the bottom will now become your decorative top.
STEP THIRTEEN: Smooth the batter into an even layer and bake for 1 hour.
PRO TIP:
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your cake as the suggested baking time approaches.
STEP FOURTEEN: Tent the peach cobbler pound cake with a large piece of aluminum foil and bake for an additional 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
STEP FIFTEEN: Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes in the pan before inverting it onto a serving plate to remove the bundt pan.
You may need to leave your cake in the pan while upside down for an additional 15 to 20 minutes to cool some more before it comes out of the bundt pan easily.
PRO TIP:
If you find that some of your peaches (that were on the bottom of the pan and are now the top of your cake) stay in the bundt pan once flipped and removed, you can carefully remove them from the pan and place them back onto the cake. Just be careful not to break them as they will be tender.
STEP SIXTEEN: Allow the peach cobbler pound cake to cool completely on the serving plate before adding the reserved, well-drained peach slices and caramel sauce to garnish the top of the cake.
PRO TIP:
You may not need to use all the peaches from the can for the garnish. If not, then you can place them into a lidded container, in the refrigerator, for up to 5 days to eat as a snack or in another recipe.
How To Serve Peach Cobbler Cake
Serve this delicious peach cobbler pound cake slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, some peach slices on top, and a drizzle of the caramel sauce to make an over-the-top peach dessert.
Or try a dollop of lightly-sweetened whipped cream to further enhance its fruity flavors, along with a cup of coffee or tea.

This delicious dessert will keep in the freezer for up to two months. Once cooled, wrap it in plastic wrap and then a Ziploc bag.
To easily invert the cake, lay a flat plate over the top of the cake pan. Carefully flip the cake over onto the plate. Gently bang on the bottom of the pan for good measure, then lift the pan off.

I only have a hand mixer. Must I have a stand mixer to make this delicious cake?
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Genny – you can use a hand mixer instead, enjoy!
KaipoGurl says
Can I use box cake mix instead of the flour?
Layne Kangas says
Hey, there – we haven’t tried that. If you did, I don’t think you would need the baking powder or sugar but since we haven’t tested it, I am not sure. Please let me know if you try it, enjoy!
