Peach Pound Cake

Peaches are absolutely some of the summer’s best fruits! I love stopping by peach stands along the side of the road during the month of August to grab the biggest, juiciest peaches they have. The recipe is only slightly altered. I used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and cut it back by half. The first time around, I used the full amount of yogurt but the cake came out too wet.

My peaches were super ripe and juicy. If you’re using firm peaches that aren’t as ripe, you can probably get away with using the full amount of yogurt.This pound cake is incredibly moist. It actually doesn’t even have the dense texture of pound cake. It falls somewhere in between a tender vanilla cake and a buttery pound cake. It’s the best! Let’s get to the logistics of peach pound cake with cream cheese frosting. The batter is made with simple ingredients like butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, and Greek yogurt. And of course, there’s both baking powder and baking soda to help it rise.
