Do you have to peel the peaches?

You do not have to peel the peaches, if you don't want to, the skin softens with baking and makes no difference in the final result. In my cake photos for this blog post I used one peeled and one unpeeled peach.

Can I use canned peaches?

This recipe is best with fresh peaches but you can use canned if necessary. Be sure to fully drain the peaches before coating with flour.

Can I use unripe peaches?

Use ripe peaches for the best result. If you need to quickly ripen your peaches, place in a paper bag and loosely fold the top to close. Let sit for 24 hours and they should be ripened and ready to use!

How to I make sure my bundt cake doesn't stick to the pan?

It is vital that you thoroughly butter the pan before making this recipe. Don't skimp on this step or your cake will stick!

Can this be made ahead?

You can make this cake up to 2 days ahead of time and store wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Can this pound cake be frozen?

Unlike regular pound cake, I do not recommend freezing this recipe. The peaches in the cake will be watery upon thawing and ruin the texture of the cake.

How do I know when the cake is finished cooking?

Insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake, when it comes out clean (no liquid batter on it) you can be sure the cake is finished baking.

Can I use salted butter?

If you use salted butter, omit the additional salt from the recipe.
