Ingredients
Here is an overview of what you will need to make your peach bundt cake with cream cheese icing.
Peach bundt cake ingredients:
- 4 sticks salted butter, room temperature
- 2 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 8 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 2 cups fresh peaches, pitted, and chopped (about 2 large or 3 medium peaches)
And for the cream cheese icing:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 4 Tablespoon salted butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease a 10-inch bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Use a spatula to scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Add the vanilla and sugar, beating together on medium speed until the sugar is fully incorporated, about 1 minute.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Be sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Use a spatula to scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
With the mixer set to the lowest speed, gradually add the flour to the batter. Stop mixing as soon as the flour is fully incorporated. Do not overmix!
Gently fold in the peaches.
Transfer the batter to the bundt pan.
Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edge and turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake cools, prepare your icing:
Beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla together on medium speed until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes). On low speed, add the powdered sugar slowly. Continue mixing and adding powdered sugar, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Once all of the powdered sugar has been added, turn the mixer to high speed and beat until the icing is light and fluffy– about 2 minutes.
Drizzle or spread the icing over the cooled bundt cake and enjoy!
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Tips for the Best Peach Pound Cake
- Make sure you bring all your ingredients to room temperature before beginning.
- Don’t skip sifting your flour.
- Use a stand mixer rather than a hand mixer, if at all possible.
- Cream the butter until fluffy before adding the sugar. Then cream them some more.
- Make sure each egg in mixed in before adding the next.
- Add the floud gradually, mixing on low until just incorporated. Do not overmix!
Cream Cheese Frosting Notes and Tips
- We went light on the icing and just added a small drizzle, but feel free to add a thicker drizzle or spoon/spread the icing over the cake for extra sweetness.
- If the icing is too thick you can add mix in a bit of milk, a teaspoonful at a time, until the icing reaches the desired consistency. If you want to cover the top of the cake with icing it helps to thin it out a bit before pouring it on.
- This homemade peach cake is also wonderful with a dusting of powdered sugar on top in lieu of icing.
Recipe FAQ
Yes! You can use frozen peaches. Add them to the batter frozen, just be sure to chop them up into bite-sized pieces before adding to the batter. If they have thawed a bit blot any excess moisture on them with a paper towel.
Yes, but be sure that you drain them well and blot them off with a paper towel so that they don’t add extra moisture to the cake.
Do not flip your bundt cake over right after it comes out of the oven. Allow the bundt to cool down for about 10 minutes before turning it over onto a wire rack and lifting up the pan.
If your bundt cake sticks to the pan after turning it over onto a wire rack don’t worry. Try banging the bottom and edges of the pan a couple of times and give it a few gentle shakes to help release it. If that doesn’t work leave the pan upside on the wire rack to allow it to cool some more and try again in 10 minutes.
