My sister and her husband were just here for a visit. They arrived just in time for dinner. I had everything ready and this recipe for Peach Pound Cake had just came out of the oven. I just love pound cake. It was soooo delicious with a dollop of whipped cream on each slice.

I am a huge peach lover and get so excited when I can go pick them at the orchard. I always bring some home that are not ripe yet but that is ok with me because I want to be able to get them done in about a weeks time.

SO HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR PEACHES ARE RIPE???
 Smell them….a ripe peach will have a aroma that is very potent.
 Squeeze peaches carefully with your fingers, if they feel soft, not mushy, then your peaches are ripe.
Check out the color of the peaches. They should have a lovely reddish blush.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED….
Salted butter
White sugar
Large Eggs
Vanilla extract
Almond extract
Sour Cream
All-purpose flour
Your cake will stay moist and delicious for 5 days in your fridge.
CAN YOU USE CANNED OR FROZEN PEACHES…
Fresh is always the best way to go. However you can use frozen or canned. If you just have frozen you need to thaw and drain the extra liquid. (Sometimes you might experience longer cooking with frozen peaches.) Canned peaches should be drained well before adding.
This is delicious cake that I serve with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of homemade lightly sweetened whipped cream
This delicious peach pound cake that will be the hit at your next family gathering.

Notes

  • You can make this into a peach loaf pound cake.  Instead of using a bundt pan or tube pan, divide the batter into a loaf pan.
