Peach and Blueberry Pound Cake
Peach and Blueberry Pound Cake - the perfect summer dessert! Can make ahead of time and serve a few days later. You can even freeze the cake!! Butter, cream cheese, sugar, eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, fresh peaches, fresh blueberries and peach preserves. This cake is CRAZY good! Everyone raves about ti when I take it to a potluck!!
I've had this recipe bookmarked just waiting for peach season to arrive! Well, peach season is finally upon us, and I couldn't be more excited!! This Peach and Blueberry Pound Cake was definitely worth the wait. Y'all, it is SO good!! All you need is some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and dessert is done!
This Peach and Blueberry Pound Cake is the perfect summer dessert. You can't beat juicy ripe peaches and fresh blueberries mixed with cream cheese. This cake actually gets better as it sits. I like to make this cake the day before I serve it so the fruits have time to set.
I used fresh blueberries and peaches, but you can definitely use frozen fruit as well. I like to buy peaches and blueberries when they go on sale at the grocery store and freeze them for later. Just thaw the fruit and proceed as directed. They will work just fine! I actually love to use frozen wild blueberries in this recipe. Just thaw and rinse the blueberries before folding them into the batter.
