Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan thoroughly. Make sure every crevice is coated to prevent sticking.

Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Peach Cobbler Mixture

In a small bowl combine:

• Brown sugar
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg

Mix thoroughly.

Toss the diced peaches in this mixture until evenly coated.

Set aside.

This creates the signature peach cobbler flavor throughout the cake.

---

Step 3: Mix the Cake Batter

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.

Continue beating for about 3 to 4 minutes.

Gradually add sugar and beat until light and creamy.

This step is important because it creates a tender cake texture.

---

Step 4: Add the Eggs

Add eggs one at a time.

Beat well after each addition.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.

Mix in vanilla extract and almond extract.

The batter should appear smooth and silky.

---

Step 5: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl whisk together:

• Flour
• Baking powder
• Salt

Mix thoroughly.

This ensures even distribution of the leavening ingredients.

---

Step 6: Alternate Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture.

Alternate with buttermilk.

Begin and end with the flour mixture.

Mix only until combined.

Avoid overmixing.

---

Step 7: Fold in the Peaches

Gently fold most of the peach mixture into the batter.

Reserve about ½ cup for layering.

Use a spatula to avoid crushing the peaches.

---

Step 8: Layer the Batter

Pour half the batter into the prepared Bundt pan.

Sprinkle reserved peaches evenly over the batter.

Add remaining batter.

Smooth the top with a spatula.

This creates beautiful cobbler-like pockets throughout the cake.

---

Step 9: Bake the Cake

Place the pan in the preheated oven.

Bake for 75 to 90 minutes.

Check after 75 minutes.

Insert a toothpick into the center.

It should come out with only a few moist crumbs attached.

---

Step 10: Cool Properly

Remove the cake from the oven.

Allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.

Carefully invert onto a wire rack.

Allow to cool completely before glazing.

---

Step 11: Prepare the Peach Glaze

In a medium bowl combine:

• Powdered sugar
• Peach nectar
• Vanilla extract

Whisk until smooth.

Adjust consistency by adding more peach juice if necessary.

---

Step 12: Finish the Cake

Drizzle glaze generously over the cooled cake.

Allow it to set for 15 minutes.

 

Garnish with peach slices and chopped pecans if desired.
