Peach Pound Cake

Recipe Description

This Peach Pound Cake is deliciously moist thanks to the juicy peaches. Can you beat peaches in summertime? To me, they really are one of the key summer flavors. I remember eating peaches on summer vacations when I was a child and the peach juices would flow down my arm, leaving a sticky trail which I’d wash off by jumping the pool! Happy days.

Back to the present – to make this cake you start by making a typical sponge cake: cream butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy. Then add eggs and vanilla before gradually adding flour. The addition of fresh peaches brings this sponge to a new level. I love it and I’m sure you will too!

To make Peach Pound Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
