Peach Pound Cake

Peach Pound Cake

June 13, 2014 by Erin

Who else is obsessed with Pound Cake? Anyone? We are. And by we, I mean my entire family. We love it! And with Father’s Day right around the corner we thought we’d make my Dad a dessert with his two favorite things, peaches and pound cake. Win win! And since we celebrated Father’s Day last weekend I can actually post this before this Sunday.

We used fresh peaches but you can use frozen. My recommendation is to use really ripe peaches to get the peach flavor from them. Otherwise there’s just chunks of peaches in a “regular” pound cake. When we make this again I will also mush up about a cup of peaches as well as add another cup of peach chunks. I didn’t think 1 cup was enough.

Doesn’t it look great? (But needs more chunks…..)

It was a huge hit with my dad, though. He loved it!

Thank you In Mama Joe’s Shadow for this recipe.
