Beach Pound Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter a 10 inch tube pan and coat with white sugar.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla. Reserve 1/4 cup of flour for later, and sift together the remaining flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Use the reserved flour to coat the chopped peaches, then fold the floured peaches into the batter. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 60 to 70 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and sugar two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
• Combine flour, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. Mix mashed peaches and sour cream in another bowl.
• Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in vanilla extract and almond extract with the last egg. Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the peach mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 65 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• For the streusel topping: Whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl until smooth and combined. Stir in the flour until completed moistened and clumping into pea-size pieces. Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and set aside.
• For the pound cake: Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the longer sides. Spray generously with nonstick cooking spray.
• Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, until combined, then beat in the vanilla.
• Whisk together the cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 1 1/2 cups of the flour in a separate large bowl until combined. With the mixer on medium low, add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three batches, alternating with the buttermilk; beat until just combined.
• Toss the diced peaches with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour in a small bowl, then gently fold into the batter until evenly distributed throughout.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle evenly with the streusel topping. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly, about 15 minutes. Run a small offset spatula around the edge of the loaf pan, then use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cake out of the pan and onto the wire rack. Let cool completely.
• For the macerated peaches: Toss the sliced peaches with the brown sugar, lemon zest and vanilla in a large bowl until combined. Set aside until the peaches are softened and starting to release their juices, about 30 minutes.
• For the whipped cream: Beat the heavy cream, sour cream and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Cover and keep cold in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Cut the pound cake into 1-inch-thick slices using a serrated knife. Top with some of the macerated peaches and a dollop of whipped cream.

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.
