Like any good pound cake, this Georgia Peach Pound Cake has lots of buttery flavor. This cake is so wonderfully flavored, it doesn’t even need a glaze.

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.

I can’t wait to make this, but I want to know could I use canned peaches & self rising flour to give the cake more height? If so what would be measurements?
This peach pound cake was delicious and very easy to make!
Excellent cake!
I’m a baker and especially trying new pound cake recipes. With it being Georgia peach time I had to try and was I excited! Perfect, beautiful pound cake; high rising and just the right amount of moistness and sweetness. If I could give it a 5+ I would.
I like to use fresh picked blackberries. Instead of flour on the pan I use sugar. Itt makes a nice crunch crust.
Do you think I could swap out peaches for mangos? I have an abundance.
I have used canned peaches, fruit cocktail, berries, small chopped apple, and pineapple. I think mango would work. The firmer the better I think.
This is the most delicious and easiest pound cake I’ve ever baked! I’m trying this recipe today using fresh strawberries instead of peaches. It looks just as delicious! I am anxiously awaiting to try it!
The strawberry pound cake was a hit also! (I probably love the fresh peach one best, but the fresh strawberry one was a keeper as well!) Both of them went fast!!
Can this be frozen? Looking to use up some end of season peaches
