Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
6 large eggs room temperature
1½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup sour cream
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp baking soda
2 cups chopped fresh peaches 2-3 large peaches
{optional} vanilla ice cream

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F.
Generously grease a 10” tube or Bundt pan with vegetable shortening and then dust the inside of the pan with ~1-2 Tbsp of flour. Tap any excess flour out of the pan. Set pan aside.
Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and both sugars until light and fluffy (~3-4 minutes at medium speed).
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing fully after each addition.
Add vanilla extract and sour cream; mix until well combined.
Using a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, ginger, cinnamon and baking soda; stir until well combined. Add the flour mixture to the bowl with the sugars in 2 additions; mixing fully after each addition.
Carefully fold in chopped peaches.
Transfer batter into prepared tube pan.
Bake for 60 minutes. Tent lightly with foil and continue baking for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out mostly clean.
Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes before inverting cake onto wire rack. Let cake cool completely before slicing.
{optional} Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

I highly recommend using fresh peaches for this pound cake recipe. However, frozen peaches could be substituted if needed. Just let the frozen peaches thaw and then drain off any excess liquid before adding them to the batter. I do not recommend using canned peaches.
