How to make Southern Peach Pound Cake
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 325 degrees F.
Step 2: Ready a bundt pan. Grease, flour, and set aside.
Step 3: Combine the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well every after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4: In another bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5: To the wet ingredients, add the dry ingredients. Then, add the sour cream and mix well until blended. Next, gently fold in the lemon zest and peaches.
Step 6: Into the prepared pan, spoon the batter. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour and 8-10 minutes (making sure to check the cake at the 1-hour mark).
Step 7: Remove the cake from the oven when done and allow it to cool slightly in the pan.
Step 8: Once a little cool, transfer the cake to a cooling rack and cool fully.
Step 9: Whisk the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until the mixture has a glaze consistency.
Step 10: On top of the cake, drizzle the glaze. Allow the glaze to set.
Step 11: Slice the cake and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some sliced peaches. Enjoy!
