Caramelized Peach Topping~Perfect for Pound Cake
I am finally getting settled in to my new home. One thing that always makes a place feel like home to me is the first time I cook in the kitchen. On Saturday, I set out to do just that with a delicious pound cake and caramelized peaches recipe.
The first place I lived after moving out of my parents house was a small apartment and I moved in just two weeks before my wedding. I set up my kitchen just the way I wanted it, especially unpacking all the new wedding gifts for the kitchen and I started to bake! The task at hand was to bake, decorate and transport my own wedding cake but that’s a post for another day! When we moved into our next apartment my husband bought me my Kitchen Aid stand mixer in the first week and I made some cinnamon muffins.
Two years later in our quiet home at 11:30 at night I decided it was time to bake! So I looked up the pound cake recipe from Life Anchored that was my feature pick from last weeks Snickerdoodle Sunday party! (Please visit her blog for the recipe.) This recipe creates a wonderful pound cake and I followed the ingredients to a T.
I did deviate from the directions and used a brownie pan instead of a loaf pan to bake it in. I topped it all off with some caramelized cinnamon peaches!
Peel and slice peaches, simmer in butter, sugar and cinnamon until tender.
Since it was my first time cooking in this kitchen I had to wait a while to gauge the temperature of the oven and the cake takes about an hour to bake. So there I was a 1:00 am eating of the pound cake in my kitchen as the rest of my little family was fast asleep! I love the way a house smells after baking. For the first time I didn’t smell the construction saw dust or paint, I smelled this amazing mixture of peaches, vanilla and sugar and I felt at home.
Ingredients for Caramelized Cinnamon Peaches
Two peaches – peeled and sliced evenly
Two tablespoons butter
Two tablespoons sugar
Cinnamon to taste
Directions
Melt two tablespoons of butter in a skillet pan (12 inch or larger preferred) on medium to low heat
Peal and slice the peaches
Once butter is melted add the sugar and mix together
Add peaches and sprinkle with cinnamon to taste
Simmer for ten minutes, flipping the peaches over every two minutes
Once the peaches are tender, pour over a slice of cake. To take this to over the top delicious, I added a scoop of butter pecan ice cream on top!

Eating a delicious dessert at one o’clock in the morning isn’t something I’d do often, but this was too delicious to wait until the next day!

Love that you were up late baking and eating your treat! I like to bake cookies late at night – especially around Christmas – probably because that is the only way they will get done! I have never tried caramelized peaches before – but it sure looks incredible! Thanks for sharing!
This sounds so yummy! I am a fan of anything caramelized.
Thanks Deborah! Doesn’t the word “caramelized” make all desserts better!
Just jumping over from Brag About It to let you know that you post will be featured at next week’s party!

Thanks so much Laurie! It was great to make it and I can’t wait to make it again!
That looks so sweet and luscious, Gloria! I admire your delicious creation. The combination of a fruit and caramel, with an ice cream topping, is a one big hit! My family will definitely love this.
Thanks for stopping by. You can’t go wrong with fruit, caramel, and ice cream! I love the hot and cold of it all too!
Double yum! These peaches look great. Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday.
