Sour cream or greek yogurt- you can use either greek yogurt or sour cream. Get your sour cream to room temperature. Any percent of fat will work for this recipe.
Vanilla extract- adds extra flavor.
Buttermilk– gives the cake extra moisture. You can make your own buttermilk if you don’t have one on hand. Simply mix a cup of milk with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
Kosher salt- you will need about ½ teaspoon of kosher salt for this recipe.
For the peach topping:
Peaches- fresh peaches are best for this recipe. We also used canned peaches and they work great as well!

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180c (350f). Butter the bundt cake pan with room-temperature butter and flour to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
In a large mixing bowl, add the room-temperature butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and kosher salt, and mix with an electric hand mixer until it's creamy.
Add the room temperature eggs, and mix until combined.
Add the sour cream, oil, and peach puree, and mix well.
In a medium sized bowl, add the flour and baking powder. Mix with a whisk until combined.
Add ½ of the flour mixture and mix until almost combined.
Add the rest of the flour mixture and the buttermilk and mix until just combined and there are no lumps of flour visible.
In a small mixing bowl, add the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and mix until combined.
Pour the cinnamon butter mixture and arrange the peach slices on top of the butter mixture.
Carefully, top the peaches with the pound cake batter and smooth the top out with a spatula.
Bake in a 180c (350f) oven for about an hour or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool to room temperature before flipping the cake. Top the pan with a plate, flip the cake, and tap the cake pan to release the cake from the pan.
Expert Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like eggs and butter. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly. you don’t want to place cold batter into the oven.
- Measure your flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with a back of a knife.
- Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have a moist cake and not a dense and dry cake.
- Butter your bundt pan with butter and sprinkle flour to prevent sticking. This step helps the cake to bake evenly, and it makes sure that your cake will release easily from the pan.
- Make sure that your butter is at room temperature. An hour or two before making these cookies, take the butter out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature. The butter should be soft to the touch. If your butter is too cold, it will be harder to mix and there will be lumps of butter in the dough.
- Be patient! I know it’s extremely tempting to flip this cake as soon as it's ready. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature before flipping the cake. This step prevents the cake to fall apart.

Is this recipe for a 10-cup or 12-cup Bundt pan?
RichandDelish says
Hi! It's a 12-cup bundt pan!
Suzanne Hummel says
What is peach purée?
RichandDelish says
I make my own peach puree, it makes this cake super soft. I simply peel and slice peaches (or use drained canned peaches) and blend them in a blender or in a food processor until they are smooth.
Vanessa says
Peel the peaches before setting them into the cinnamon butter mix, correct? Or can we put them in unpeeled?
RichandDelish says
Hi! I peeled them, but you don't have to.
Sha'Rita says
Salted or unsalted butter?
RichandDelish says
I used unsalted butter, but you can use salted butter and skip the salt.
Charmaine says
Thanks for this tasty recipe! Just made this cake and proceeded to enjoy a big slice for lunch. I'd say it is a delicious cake, but not quite what I expected. First, it's too light and fluffy to really be a pound cake (which is usually dense) I'd call it a peach cobbler Bundt cake. Second, the cake itself is not sweet enough. I think next time I'll make my puree from canned peaches in heavy syrup. Perhaps that will up the sweetness a bit. Third, I need twice as much of that yummy sweet glaze. Next time I'll cook down a second batch on the stovetop and drizzle it over the cake when it comes out of the pan
