Peach Recipe: Roasted Peach Bundt Cake
I have been having a LOT of fun with the big box o’peaches that the hubby brought home for me from the farmer’s market. It’s remarkable how far 40lbs of fruit can go. I’ve shared recipes on the blog for peach blackberry pie, low sugar peach blackberry jam and today I’m sharing a peach recipe for cake. Peaches also went into a savory peach sauce that I canned – that recipe will be coming soon – and a low sugar peach jam. Finally I learned just how good peaches and proscuitto are together.

- Chop the peaches into small pieces and mix with the 2 TBS flour (it will be a bit of a sticky mess)
- Remove the bowl from the stand and using your fingers to separate the peaches, drop them into the batter and fold them in to evenly distribute.
- Add the batter to the prepared pan, tapping it on the counter a few times to release air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55 – 60 minutes until a tester comes out clean.
- Let cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes, then unmold to cool completely
- While the cake is cooling melt the remaining butter and stir in the 1/4 cup of sugar and the cinnamon.
- With the cake still warm, brush the butter mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
How Was the Peach Recipe?
This was a really lovely cake. The buttery crust with a hint of cinnamon covers a moist, rich cake with bits of delicious roasted peach throughout. Roasting brought out the intense taste of the fruit and added a bit of charred flavor that was welcome. I made my goat’s milk spice cream to go with it and they married so well. We both enjoyed this baked treat. While peach pie will always remain my favorite way to celebrate this fruit, this cake will come in a close second.
