Ingredients

  • 3 large peaches, peeled and diced
  • 2 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 and 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in the diced peaches gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and spread it out evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
  11. Slice and serve your peach pound cake. Enjoy!
