Ingredient Notes
- Fresh Peaches- It is important to use fresh peaches in this recipe. Frozen peaches will hold a lot of extra water and make the cake batter very soggy.
- Vegan Sour Cream- The vegan sour cream helps to make this cake super moist. Pound cake is known to be a dense cake, it is important to keep it moist.
- Vegan Cream Cheese- The vegan cream cheese will help to add fluff and air to the pound cake, making it a little less dense.
- Gluten-Free Flour- Make sure your gluten-free flour contains xanthan gum or else you will have to add it. I use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Trader Joe's is my go-to brand.

How to Prevent Your Bundt Pan From Sticking
Bundt pans can be tricky. To prevent your bundt pan from sticking, follow these steps.
- Spray the bundt pan with non-stick oil, making sure to get into every nook and cranny.
- Add about ¼ cup of gluten-free flour, sprinkling it evenly in the bottom of the pan and shaking it to coat the pan evenly.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray
- In a small glass mixing bowl, add the brown sugar, cinnamon and ⅔ cup gluten-free flour. Using a fork or a pastry cutter, cut in 4 tablespoons of vegan butter until a crumble forms. Gently sprinkle the crumble in the bottom of the bundt pan.
- Slice the peaches and layer half of the peaches into the bundt pan on top of the crumble.
- In a large glass mixing bowl, add 1 ½ cups melted vegan butter and the white sugar. Mix until combined.
- Add the vanilla, flax eggs, vegan sour cream and cream cheese and beat until combined.
- Add in the gluten-free flour, baking powder and salt and stir until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Layer half of the batter on top of the peaches in the bundt pan, top with the remaining peaches, and then the remaining batter.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes until cooked through.
- While the cake is in the oven, mix the powdered sugar and milk to form a glaze, and set aside.
- Let the cake cool in the bundt pan for 10 minutes before flipping and removing.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before topping with the powdered sugar glaze. Enjoy!
Hint: Make sure to allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes before trying to flip it out of the bundt pan. You don't want the cake to stick and fall apart when flipping because it is too warm.
Substitutions
- Vegan Sour Cream - If you don't have vegan sour cream on hand, you can swap it with vegan greek yogurt.
- Fresh peaches - If you are in a pinch, you can use frozen peaches, however make sure to thaw completely and then pat dry to remove excess water.
- Sugar-Free - Use your favorite sugar-free substitute to make this recipe sugar-free.
Variations
- Apricots - I love stonefruit! Try changing this up by using different fruit! This would be great with apricots!
- Cream Cheese Frosting - If you want to fancy this up a bit, try using a cream cheese frosting instead of a powdered sugar glaze!
- Almond Extract - Pound cake is traditionally flavored with almond extract, try swapping out the vanilla and adding ½ teaspoon of almond extract in its place.

FAQ's
Cook the peach cobbler pound cake for 60-75 minutes or until cooked through. The easiest way to test if the cake is cooked through is by doing the toothpick test!
The sour cream and cream cheese will give moisture to the pound cake making it moist and less dense.
If your peaches are ripe like mine were, you can easily peel the peaches with your fingers, however if your peaches are just on the side of ripe, you can blanch the peaches to quickly remove the skin. Blanch the peaches in boiling water for about 30 seconds and then transfer directly to an ice bath to stop the cooking. Once they have cooled, the peach skin should easily peel away with your hands.

Storage
Since this cake contains fresh fruit, it is best to store it in the fridge. It will keep for up to one week in the fridge.
This cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is cooled, wrap it securely with aluminum foil first and then cover it with plastic wrap. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.
Top tips
- To test if your cake is finished, insert a toothpick into your cake and check it for moist crumbs. If you have wet batter on your toothpick, your cake will need to bake longer, but if there are a few moist crumbs then it’s time to pull that cake out of the oven! The cake will continue to bake while it cools, so if you pull out a completely clean toothpick from your cake, it’s already at risk of being over-baked and dry.
- I love serving this pound cake with fresh peaches or vanilla ice cream. It adds both freshness and creaminess to the cake and makes it the perfect dessert!
- To make the flax egg, combine 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 2 tablespoons of water and let sit for 5 minutes until thickened.
