PEACH POUNDCAKE



Peach Poundcake image

This recipe proves that the perfect summer pound cake takes no special equipment or skill to pull off. Once you've prepared the peaches, this is essentially a dump-and-whisk cake. Puréed peaches (plus an extra egg yolk) keep the cake from drying out. Diced peaches add bursts of fresh fruit, and a peach glaze lends another layer of flavor. Use sweet, ripe peaches for best results, but frozen work fine here, too. If you're looking for a spin on classic peaches and cream, serve a slice with lightly sweetened whipped cream.

Time 2h

Yield 1 (9-by-5-inch) cake

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup/230 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), melted and cooled to room temperature, plus more for greasing the pan
2 1/2 cups/320 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pan
3 medium, ripe, red-hued peaches (about 1 pound), pitted (see Note)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 large eggs plus 1 large egg yolk, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup/125 grams unsifted confectioners' sugar, plus more as needed
1 1/2 cups/300 grams granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly butter and flour a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan, and set aside.
  • Dice 1 peach into 1/3-inch pieces. Pat the pieces dry with a paper towel and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 2 peaches and the lemon juice to a food processor or blender, and blend on high until completely puréed. Measure out 1 leveled cup of the purée and transfer it to a mixing bowl along with the melted butter, eggs, egg yolk and vanilla. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • Completely scrape down the sides of the food processor, and make the icing using the small amount of puréed peaches still remaining: Add 1 cup of the confectioners' sugar to the remaining peach purée in the food processor and blend on high until combined. The icing should be thick but thin enough to drizzle. Add more confectioners' sugar to thicken or a splash of water to thin, as needed. Cover and set aside until it's time to ice the cake.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt, and whisk to combine. Pour the peach mixture into the flour mixture, and whisk well until the batter is thoroughly combined, then fold in the diced peaches. Transfer the batter to the loaf pan, spread evenly to the edges, and bake until crusty and golden brown on the top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 75 to 80 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Stir the icing a final time and spread it on top of the warm cake, allowing the extra icing to drip down the sides. Cool the cake to room temperature. Slice and serve, or wrap tightly with plastic wrap and store on the counter for up to 3 days.

Time 1h3m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup unbleached flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca, uncooked
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 large fresh peaches, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp sour cream
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
ice cream, vanilla or peach

Steps:

  • Combine 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl; stir well. Cut in 1/4 cup butter with a pastry blender until topping mixture is crumbly. Cover and chill. This will be your topping.
  • Combine 1/3 cup sugar, tapioca, and nutmeg in a large heavy saucepan; stir well. Stir in peaches and lemon juice. Cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, 6 to 8 minutes or until the mixture is slightly thickened and bubbly. Spoon into a greased 8-inch square baking dish. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Combine sour cream and soda in a small bowl; stir well. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Beat 1/4 cup butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until fluffy; gradually add 1/3 cup sugar, beating well. Add egg, beating well. Add the sour cream mixture and vanilla, stirring until blended.
  • Combine 3/4 cup flour, baking powder, and salt; add to the creamed mixture. Mix at low speed just until blended. Spoon the batter over the warm peach mixture. Sprinkle the chilled topping mixture over the batter.
  • Bake at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy peaches: The quality of your peaches will greatly impact the flavor of your cake. Look for peaches that are fragrant, have a deep orange-yellow color, and give slightly when pressed.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set properly.

Conclusion:

Southern Georgia Peach Cake with a Twist is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet peaches, a moist cake, and a crunchy pecan streusel topping is sure to please everyone. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that is both beautiful and delicious. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
