Steps to make the cake:
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Using a hand or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (approximately 5 minutes). Add the cream cheese and mix until combined.
Next, add the eggs to the bowl one at a time, mixing well after each addition before adding the next egg. Add the vanilla extract and mix. Then add the flour mixture ½ c to 1 c at a time on low speed until combined.
Using a spoon or spatula scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix ensuring that the batter is fully mixed together.

Return the peaches to the bowl and mix. Spray a 12-cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Spoon the peaches and about ¼ c of the juice into the bottom of the bundt pan spreading evenly.
Keep the remaining liquid to prepare the glaze. Spoon the batter into the bundt pan as evenly as possible. Bake the cake for 60 -70 minutes.
The cake is done once an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for about 20 minutes before removing it from the pan.

What Is A Pound Cake?
A pound cake is commonly made in a bundt pan and is also called a bundt cake. It is made from 4 main ingredients- flour, sugar, butter, and eggs; typically a pound of each ingredient.
Of course, there are many variations of how to make a pound cake, but those are the basic ingredients. Pound cakes are moist and tender, yet dense in texture. This old-fashioned dessert has definitely evolved these days and is served with or without icing.
Pound Cake Tips + Tricks
⇢ Always use room temperature ingredients – Standard pound cake ingredients include butter and eggs which should always be at room temperature to ensure that they properly blend into the batter and do not cause any clumping. Other common ingredients such as milk, cream cheese, etc should also be at room temperature. Make sure to allow enough time before baking to remove the ingredients from the refrigerator and sit them on the counter to allow them to come to room temperature.
⇢ Properly measure your ingredients – Always measure each ingredient before adding it to the cake to make sure that you have the accurate amount of each ingredient for the recipe. Baking requires exact measurements for the cake to come out correctly.
⇢ Properly cream the butter and sugar together– Once blended the texture should be light and fluffy. Blend the ingredients together at a moderate speed for at least two to three minutes.
⇢ Add the eggs one at a time– Eggs must be added one at a time blending well after each addition. Once you’ve added an egg to the batter and no longer see any yellow, then you can add another egg to the batter.
⇢ Don’t overmix your batter– Aside from creaming the butter and sugar together, once done adding an ingredient, immediately start adding the next ingredient. If you are not quite ready, stop the mixer until you're ready to add the next ingredient. After you have added the last ingredient, just mix until blended. If the batter still requires mixing, for example, if there is any unmixed batter on the side of the bowl, finish the mixing process using a spoon.
⇢ Spray the hell out of your bundt pan - My favorite method is using a baking spray such as Baker’s Joy which includes the flour and oil all in one can. It's always a no-fail method for me and the cake comes right out of the pan. You can also grease the pan with oil (solid or liquid) then dust the pan evenly with flour if you prefer that method.
Frequently asked questions:
This is personal preference. This recipe uses canned peaches in syrup so keep that in mind if you choose to use fresh peaches. The syrup from the canned peaches is part of the recipe ingredients.
This cake is best stored in the refrigerator. When you're ready to eat the cake, cut a slice and allow it to stand at room temperature if you do not enjoy cold cake or as is.
This cake is definitely better on the second day when all of the seasonings and spice have set into the cake!
It's really up to you. I enjoyed the cake cool. It can also be served warm, cold or at room temperature. The cake is also great with a side of vanilla ice cream!

Angela Strong says
Is there no baking powder or soda? My cake fell after baking beautifully. Any ideas why?
Ashley Frederick says
Not for this cake. Those ingredients aren't necessarily needed for pound cakes. It could have possibly been overmixed.
Tanisha says
What size Bundt pan is recommended? I used a standard 10in pan and the cake overflowed in the oven.
Ashley Frederick says
A 12 cup pan would be better suited love. A 10 cup bundt pan is a little small for most pound cakes.
Shawn R Holder says
Very good recipes
Ashley Frederick says
Thank you love!
Camille Engle says
I am so excited to make this! I want to take it on a vacation trip but refrigerator space is very limited. I know you said that refrigerated is best but can it be left out? Also , can I freeze it? I would like to make it about a week before my trip.
Ashley Frederick says
If you leave it out, that will be at your own risk. Cakes containing fruit can go bad, etc faster. It can be frozen, but it's best fresh. If you want to make it a week early, it would be best to freeze it. I hope that helps.
Russell Sampson says
Can I use swans down cake flour instead of all-purpose flour? If so, do I need to add baking powder?
Ashley Frederick says
You can try it, but cake flour may be too tender for this type of cake with the amount of fruit and liquid it has in it.
Pamela says
Can I use a pound cake pan instead of a bunt pan my was too small
Ashley Frederick says
Are you talking about a loaf pan? Yes you can.
CJ says
Thank you for the recipe! Is it necessary to refrigerate?
Ashley Frederick says
Thank you! Yes, its best to refridgerate it.
CEJ says
Does this cake have to be refrigerated?
Ashley Frederick says
Yes, its best to refridgerate it.
Barbara says
This looks deliciously decadent. What would be your thoughts on substituting apples for the peaches?
Ashley Frederick says
Thank you! Apples may work as well.
Fabunmi Aiku says
If I want to make a bigger cake, do I have to change the oven temperature? I will need to provide this cake for 20+ people. I have an 18 cup bundt pan I'd like to use.
Ashley Frederick says
Changing the temperature or size of the pan will not make for a larger cake. You can change the serving size in the recipe card. When in doubt, you can always make two cakes.
Eloise says

Kay says
Do you refrigerate the cake? Im making it the day before Thanksgiving so i wanted to know how do I store it
Whip it like Butter says
I did refrigerate the cake. I recommend removing it from the refrigerator at least a few hours before serving it to give it time to come to room temperature.
Valerie says
Hi I forgot the brown sugar for the topping will it come out ok?
Whip it like Butter says
Hi there! It may not be as flavorful, but it will probably be fine.
Valerie says
Hi what if I forgot the brown sugar in the topping? Will it turn out right still?
Lorna Smith says
Love this cake. I have made about 10 of them for friends and family. TheLast 2 that I made the cake broke first one had 1 Crack the 2nd one cracked in 3 different places. Please help what could cause this
Whip it like Butter says
I'm so glad you love the cake. Cracking is not necessarily unusual for a pound cake. It's possible that the one that broke was overmixed.
Diana says
I followed the directions as written. However, I had to add more peaches. The cake was very tasty. I will make it again.
Whip it like Butter says
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it Diana!
