Georgia Peach Pound Cake

We were in Georgia the other weekend and I was on a search for peaches and it proved harder than I thought.  On the way home I finally found some.  I needed to make an easy to eat cake for election day and this was perfect.

A basic pound cake recipe with peaches.

Start with 2 softened sticks of butter

2 cups sugar

Beat well until nice and fluffy

Add 4 eggs one at a time beating after each one.

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 cups all purpose flour

2 cups chopped peaches

Sprinkle the peaches with about 2 Tablespoons flour

Toss

Added to the batter

I like making bundt cakes but I hate this part.  I am always afraid that I will not grease and flour it enough and it won't come out of the pan.  This recipe says to grease it with butter and then dust with sugar.  I was afraid I couldn't get the butter to do right so I used butter flavored shortening and then the sugar.

Evenly pour the batter in the pan. Place in a preheated 325 oven and bake for 60-70 minutes.

When it comes out of the oven let it sit in the pan for about 10 minutes.  Before inverting the pan run a knife around the edge and then beat on the pan a little to break it loose.

And it came out all in one piece!!!
