Peach Cobbler Pound Cake

Peach Cobbler Pound Cake

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 1 box of yellow cake mix (or you can use homemade if preferred)

• 1 box of instant vanilla pudding mix (this makes it extra moist)

• 1 cup of sour cream

• 1/2 cup of vegetable oil

• 4 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional but adds a nice flavor)

• 1 can (15 oz) of sliced peaches in syrup, drained and chopped (reserve some syrup for later if you like a glaze)

• 1 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

For the Topping:

• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

• 1 cup of sugar

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 tablespoon of flour (optional, to thicken)

• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan or a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Prepare the Cake Batter:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and pudding mix.

   • Add the sour cream, oil, eggs, vanilla, and almond extract.

   • Mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer on low speed until everything is combined, then increase speed to medium for 2-3 minutes until smooth.

   • Gently fold in the chopped peaches and pecans (if using).

3. Bake:

   • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

   • Bake for 45–55 minutes (if using a bundt pan) or 35–45 minutes (if using a 9×13-inch pan) or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

4. Prepare the Topping:

   • While the cake is baking, mix the melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.

   • Once the cake is done baking and slightly cooled (about 10 minutes), pour the sugar mixture over the cake.

5. Cool and Serve:

   • Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing it. The sugar topping will form a nice syrup-like glaze.

   • Once cooled, slice and serve! You can also top it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Enjoy!

This cake should be a big hit at any gathering. It’s got that comforting peach flavor, but with the density and richness of a pound cake. Plus, the topping really brings it all together!
