Ingredients

For the cake:

1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
1/2 cup (120 ml) milk

Dry ingredients:

2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

For the peaches and topping:

3 cups peeled, sliced peaches (fresh or canned, drained and patted dry)
1/2 cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional glaze:

1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
2–3 tbsp milk
Pinch of salt and 1/2 tsp vanilla

Notes: If using canned peaches, drain well and pat dry so the cake won’t get soggy. Use unsalted butter so you can control the salt.

How to Make Southern Peach Cobbler Bundt Cake

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan well. (Why: a well-greased pan helps the cake release cleanly.)
Toss the peaches with brown sugar, lemon juice, 1 tsp vanilla, and a pinch of cinnamon. Let them sit while you make the batter. (Why: this brings out peach juice and flavor.)
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside. (Why: dry ingredients mixed evenly keep the cake texture uniform.)
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and pale, about 2–3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each. Stir in 1 tsp vanilla. (Why: creaming traps air for a tender crumb.)
Add the dry mixture to the butter mix in three parts, alternating with the milk and yogurt. Start and end with the dry mix. Mix until just combined; don’t overmix. (Tip: overmixing makes the cake tough.)
Spread half the peach mixture across the bottom of the prepared bundt pan. Spoon half the batter over the peaches and smooth gently. Add the remaining peaches and top with the rest of the batter. (Why: layered peaches give pockets of fruit throughout the cake.)
Drizzle the melted 2 tbsp butter over the top of the batter. This helps the top brown and adds buttery flavor.
Bake 45–55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the thickest part comes out clean and the cake is golden. If the top browns too fast, tent with foil after 35 minutes. (Mini-tip: ovens vary; watch the color.)
Cool the cake in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. Make the glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, salt, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake. (Why: cooling in the pan a short time prevents the cake from breaking.)

How to Serve Southern Peach Cobbler Bundt Cake

Slice and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra creaminess.
Dust with a little extra cinnamon and sprinkle toasted pecans for crunch.
Serve with a hot cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk for a cozy family treat.

How to Store Southern Peach Cobbler Bundt Cake

Room temperature: Keep slices in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Refrigerator: Store covered for up to 5 days; bring to room temperature or warm gently before serving.
Freezer: Wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and warm in a low oven.
To reheat: Warm a slice in the microwave for 20–30 seconds or in a 325°F (160°C) oven for 8–10 minutes for a fresh-baked feel.

Tips to Make Southern Peach Cobbler Bundt Cake

Pat canned peaches dry to avoid extra liquid that can sink the cake.
Don’t overmix the batter—stop when dry ingredients are just combined.
Use room-temperature eggs and butter for a smooth, even batter.
Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly to prevent burning.

Variation

Gluten-free: Swap 2 cups of all-purpose flour for a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend and add 1/4 tsp xanthan gum if your blend needs it.
Peach-blueberry: Add 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries to the peaches for a mixed-fruit bundt with more color and tartness.

FAQs

Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?

Yes. Use canned peaches that are drained and patted dry. Fresh peaches add the best flavor in season, but well-drained canned peaches work fine year-round.

How do I stop the peaches from making the cake soggy?

Toss peaches with brown sugar and let them sit briefly, then drain and pat dry if canned. Layering peaches rather than folding too many wet pieces into the batter helps keep the crumb light.

My cake is browning too fast—what should I do?

Cover the top loosely with foil during the last 15–20 minutes of baking. That traps moisture and prevents the top from burning while the center finishes.

Can I make this ahead for a party?

Yes—bake the day before, store covered in the fridge, and bring to room temperature or warm slightly before serving. Add the glaze just before serving for the best look.
