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.

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

Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh peaches?

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.

Can I use canned peaches?

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 you cool a bundt cake upside down?

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.

How do you get a stuck bundt cake out of 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.
