Georgia Peach 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:

• Combine 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl; stir well. Cut in 1/4 cup butter with a pastry blender until topping mixture is crumbly. Cover and chill. This will be your topping.
• Combine 1/3 cup sugar, tapioca, and nutmeg in a large heavy saucepan; stir well. Stir in peaches and lemon juice. Cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, 6 to 8 minutes or until the mixture is slightly thickened and bubbly. Spoon into a greased 8-inch square baking dish. Set aside and keep warm.
• Combine sour cream and soda in a small bowl; stir well. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Beat 1/4 cup butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until fluffy; gradually add 1/3 cup sugar, beating well. Add egg, beating well. Add the sour cream mixture and vanilla, stirring until blended.
• Combine 3/4 cup flour, baking powder, and salt; add to the creamed mixture. Mix at low speed just until blended. Spoon the batter over the warm peach mixture. Sprinkle the chilled topping mixture over the batter.
• Bake at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream.

Steps:

• Whisk together the ground gingersnaps and pecans in a small mixing bowl. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and stir into the mixture until combined. Place 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each of six 4-ounce jars. Press into an even, compact layer. Set aside.
• To make the filling, place the cream cheese, mascarpone, sour cream, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the beater attachment. Whip just until smooth, about 1 minute. Drop 3 tablespoons of filling into each jar. Give each jar a few gentle taps against the counter to even out the filling. Secure the lids on top of the jars and refrigerate to set for at least 1 hour.
• To make the Georgia peach topping, place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining tablespoon butter and heat until melted. Stir in the brown sugar, ginger and cinnamon. Cook until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Add the peaches and stir to coat. Add the bourbon and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are slightly softened, about 3 minutes more. Set aside to cool.
• Remove the lids from the cheesecake jars. Dollop 1 tablespoon of peach compote on top of each cheesecake. Serve immediately or secure the lids and refrigerate until ready to serve.

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:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extracts. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to the batter alternately with sour cream, beating well after each addition. Fold in the peaches., Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 60-70 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired.

Steps:

• Generously grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan: DO NOT PREHEAT OVEN.
• Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy; add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt; alternately add flour mixture and heavy cream to the butter-sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour; stir in flavoring.
• Pour batter into prepared pan; PUT INTO COLD OVEN and set the temperature to 325°F Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes WITHOUT OPENING THE DOOR (DON'T PEEK); Bake an additional 15 minutes if necessary.
• Remove from the oven and cool in pan for 15 minutes, invert cake onto cake plate.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Generously butter six 8-ounce ramekins. Set aside on a rimmed baking sheet.
• In the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, pulse the peaches until coarsely chopped. (The pieces should be no larger than 1/4 inch.) Remove 3/4 cup of the chopped peaches and place 2 tablespoons of them in each of the prepared ramekins. Set aside.
• Add the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the remaining chopped peaches in the bowl of the food processor. Process until very smooth and pureed. Transfer 1 cup of the peach puree to a bowl, discarding any remainder or reserve for another use, such as an ice cream topping or base for a smoothie. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the whisk, beat the egg whites with a pinch of the salt on medium speed until foamy. Add about 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar and beat on high speed until the whites hold soft peaks, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly add the remaining granulated sugar and beat on high speed until the whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks when the whisk is lifted.
• Add about a quarter of the beaten egg whites to the peach puree mixture and stir until well mixed. Pour this mixture over the remaining whites and fold them together as lightly as possible.
• Spoon the mixture into the prepared soufflé ramekins (the mixture should come up to the top of each). Smooth the top with a metal spatula. Run your thumb around the inside rim of each dish, making a shallow channel around the edge of the batter. (This will help the soufflés rise up straight and tall.) Set the filled soufflé ramekins on the rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake until puffed, golden, and gently set in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and serve immediately.
