Ingredients
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup butter or margarine softened
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour divided
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fresh peaches pitted and chopped
Instructions
- To prepare the delectable Peach Pound Cake, start by preheating the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). Take a 10-inch tube pan and generously coat it with butter, ensuring a delightful sugary crust forms.
- In a mixing bowl, the sugar and butter are combined by using an electric mixer until they become light and fluffy. The eggs are then added one at a time, with each addition being well beaten. Finally, the fragrant vanilla is stirred in.
- The flour, baking powder, and salt need to be sifted together first. Pour 2 3/4 cups of flour into a separate bowl and add the baking powder and salt. Gradually mix these dry ingredients into the wet ones until you have a smooth batter.
- In a small bowl, the remaining 1/4 cup of flour is tossed together with the juicy peaches to ensure they are coated. Afterward, gently fold the floured peaches into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
- The batter should be evenly spread into the prepared pan. Next, place it in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 60 to 70 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center, making sure it comes out clean. Once the cake is fully baked, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Afterward, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
