Peach Cobbler Pound Cake Twinkies (Print Version)

Moist pound cakes with peach filling and glaze, combining classic summer flavors in a portable treat.

# Ingredients:

→ Pound Cake Batter

01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 1 cup granulated sugar
05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - 1/2 cup whole milk

→ Peach Filling

09 - 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
10 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
11 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
12 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice

→ Glaze

13 - 1 cup powdered sugar
14 - 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
15 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F and thoroughly grease a Twinkie or mini loaf pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream softened butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then blend in vanilla extract. Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the creamed mixture, mixing just until combined. Fill each mold about three-quarters full with batter.
02 - Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in the pan for several minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before proceeding.
03 - In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine diced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring frequently, until peaches soften and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow filling to cool to room temperature.
04 - With a paring knife or skewer, hollow out the center of each cooled cake. Use a spoon or piping bag to fill the center cavity of each cake with the peach filling.
05 - Whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream or milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Drizzle the glaze over the filled cakes and let set for several minutes before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure cakes are fully cooled before filling to prevent the peach mixture from making the sponge soggy.
