Peach Pound Cake

Ingredients

3 cups flour
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
6 eggs
¼ tsp almond extract
1½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup Tatua Sour Cream
2 cups diced fresh or canned peaches
 
Glaze:
1 cup icing sugar
2 Tbsp cream cheese, at room temperature
1 Tbsp milk

Method

  •  Preheat oven to 175°C.  Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted or round tin.
  • Combine flour, baking soda and salt.  Mix thoroughly.
  • In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each one.  Add almond and vanilla extracts and mix thoroughly.
  • Beginning with the flour mixture, alternately add this with the Tatua Sour Cream to the egg mixture.  Gently fold in the peaches. 
  • Pour batter into tin and distribute evenly.  Bake about 1 hour or until skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.  Cool in pan on a rack for 20 minutes.  Invert onto a cake dish and let cool another 30 minutes before glazing.
  • For the glaze, beat icing sugar, cream cheese and milk until smooth.  Drizzle over the top of the peach pound cake.  Best served at room temperature.
