Georgia Peach Pound Cake

By JanetLynn198

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 cups fresh peaches, pitted and chopped

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 325F. Butter a 10" tube pan and coat with sugar.

2. 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.

3. Bake for 60-70 mins in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10 mins, before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
