Reader Comment
Leslie says- “Absolutely the best and easiest peach cake I’ve ever made. I was prepared for a problem getting it out of the pan, however it almost flew unto the plate by itself. And it was gone in two days. I’m getting ready to make it again while we still have peaches. Its moist with a tender crumb…just so good. I highly recommend making it.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tips For Making A Peach Pound Cake
- Be sure to start with room temperature butter and eggs.
- Use frozen peaches instead of fresh if you like.
- Be sure to beat the butter and the sugar together really well, a good 6 to 8 minutes. Do not rush this part. It is very important to the finished texture.
Measure the Flour Correctly
When making a pound cake, it is very important to measure the flour correctly. First fluff it up some in the bag or container. Then gently scoop it with a large spoon into a dry measuring cup. Overfill slightly and run the back of a knife across the top to get rid of excess.
Storage
Can be stored at room temperature for 3 to 4 days, in the refrigerator for 5 to 6 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
