Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sour cream

For the Peach Filling:

• 4-5 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Streusel Topping:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, diced

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube or Bundt pan.
2. Prepare Peach Filling: In a medium saucepan, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the peaches are tender about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
3. Make Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold diced butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
4. Prepare Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
6. Alternate Mixing: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
7. Assemble Cake: Spoon half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Top with half of the peach filling, spreading it evenly over the batter. Spoon the remaining cake batter over the peaches, then top with the remaining peach filling. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve slices of peach cobbler pound cake warm or at room temperature.

This peach cobbler pound cake is a delightful dessert that’s perfect for showcasing fresh, seasonal peaches. The combination of moist pound cake, sweet peach filling, and crunchy streusel topping creates a delightful texture and flavor experience. Enjoy this delicious treat with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special indulgence!
