. Assemble the Cake
- Spread half of the pound cake batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Spoon the peach filling over the batter, spreading it out gently but leaving a small border around the edges.
- Top with the remaining batter, spreading it carefully to cover the filling.
5. Make the Crumb Topping
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter.
6. Bake Until Golden
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes (or longer for a Bundt pan), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Serve and Enjoy
- Slice and serve the cake warm or at room temperature.
- Optional: Drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk, or top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra decadence.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a truly indulgent experience.
- Serve alongside a hot cup of coffee or tea for a cozy dessert moment.
- Garnish with fresh peach slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a beautiful presentation.
Pro Tips for Success
- Use Ripe Peaches: Fresh, ripe peaches provide the best flavor and texture. Frozen peaches work well too—just thaw and drain excess liquid before using.
- Don’t Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can make the cake dense. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the peach filling before assembling the cake and adjust the sugar if needed, especially if your peaches are tart.
- Freeze for Later: Wrap cooled slices tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
