6. Cool: Last, let cake cool on a wire rack in the pan for 30 minutes before removing.

7. Serve: Finally, top with glaze, sliced peaches, and slivered almonds on top.

• Cream: You can use sour cream or cream cheese instead of cream.
• Fresh peaches: Use fresh, ripe peaches instead of canned.
• Other fresh fruit: Feel free to add other fresh fruit such as pears, oranges, or strawberries on top of the butter mixture. Or whatever your favorite fruits may be.
• Another pan: If you like loaf style pound cake, use a prepared loaf pan instead.

Peach Cobbler Recipe Tips and Tricks

• You can also use two 8×8-inch baking pans.
• If you are using fresh peaches, you can buy peach juice at the grocery store too.
• Instead of butter, you could use non-stick cooking spray or olive oil.
• If it is not peach season, go ahead and use canned peaches.
• Be sure to thoroughly grease or butter the pan so your cake will not stick to the pan.
• You could also use parchment paper for even better protection from sticking.
• If you use salted butter, do not add any salt to the dry ingredients.

How To Store Leftover Peach Cobbler

• Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature up to three days, or up to five days in the refrigerator.  
• Freeze: Freezing is not recommended because the peaches release water as they thaw, which will ruin the texture.
• Reheat: Serve chilled or reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Frequently Asked questions

Q. Can I cook peach cobbler into a bundt cake?

Yes, cooking peach cobbler in a bundt pan is easy too. Spray a 10-inch pan with cooking spray or use butter to grease every nook and cranny in the bottom of the bundt pan.

Then, instead of baking at 350 degrees F for 55 minutes, bake it at 325 degrees F for one hour and 10 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.

Q. What is the easiest way to peel a peach?

Peeling a peach can be difficult because the skin is so soft. However, there is a trick to getting the skin off easily.

1. First, set a small mixing bowl of boiling water next to a separate bowl of ice water.
2. Then, place the peach gently into the boiling water and leave it there for one minute.
3. After, place the peach in ice water for 10 seconds and the peel should come right off.

Q. Can I use a different glaze for my peach cobbler cake?

Instead of regular glaze made with powdered sugar and peach juice, lemon glaze goes well with the peach flavor.

Just mix cream cheese, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla. Whip with your electric or stand mixer until it is soft and fluffy. If you don’t like lemon, use whatever juice you like for this creamy frosting.
