Peach Cobbler Pound Cake

Prepare the Peach Cobbler Topping:

In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice (if using).
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes syrupy. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Prepare the Pound Cake Batter:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Assemble the Pound Cake:

Spoon about half of the pound cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter.
Spoon the peach cobbler topping over the cinnamon sugar layer.
Add the remaining pound cake batter on top of the peach layer, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the Pound Cake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze (Optional):

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk or cream until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pound cake.
Serve and Enjoy:

Slice and serve the pound cake. Enjoy the combination of rich, buttery cake with sweet peach cobbler topping.
Tips:

Peach Preparation: If using fresh peaches, be sure to peel and slice them before cooking. Canned peaches should be well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the cake.
Bundt Pan: Ensure the bundt pan is well-greased and floured to prevent sticking.
Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. It can also be frozen for longer storage.
This Peach Cobbler Pound Cake is a comforting and indulgent dessert that combines the best of both worlds: the richness of pound cake and the sweet, fruity flavors of peach cobbler. Enjoy!
