Ingredients

1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Step-by-Step

Prepare the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Twinkie pan, mini loaf pan, or lined muffin tin to prevent sticking.
Make the Peach Filling
Combine diced peaches, 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the peaches break down and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
Mix the Pound Cake Batter
In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Assemble the Cakes
Spoon half the batter into prepared pans, filling each about 1/3 full. Add a spoonful of cooled peach filling, then cover with remaining batter, filling about 2/3 full.
Bake
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the cake (not the filling) comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes before removing to a rack.
Make the Glaze
Whisk powdered sugar, heavy cream (or milk), and vanilla extract together until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over cooled cakes.
Serve and Enjoy
Serve once glaze is set, or store as directed below.

What to Serve Peach Cobbler Pound Cake Twinkies With

Pair your Peach Cobbler Pound Cake Twinkies with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream or a dollop of lightly whipped cream for a dreamy dessert experience. For a refreshing contrast, serve with a simple fruit salad or chilled lemonade. If you want to keep things cozy, try a warm cup of coffee or sweet tea for a Southern-inspired treat. These Twinkies also shine as part of a brunch table alongside savory quiche or a cheese platter. However you serve them, they’re bound to be the highlight!

Top Tips for Perfecting

Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. If you’re in a pinch, canned peaches (well-drained) will work, but fresh is best.
If you don’t have a Twinkie or mini loaf pan, use muffin tins or even make as a traditional loaf cake—just adjust the baking time.
Don’t over-mix the batter; this ensures a tender, soft cake.
Want an extra layer of flavor? Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the peach filling.
Avoid letting the peach mixture get too watery, as it can make the cakes soggy.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Store leftover Peach Cobbler Pound Cake Twinkies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week. To keep them fresh for longer, wrap each Twinkie individually in plastic wrap before storing. For freezing, skip the glaze and freeze individually wrapped cakes for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature, then glaze before serving. To reheat, microwave for 10-15 seconds for a gently warmed, just-baked taste.

FAQs

Can I use canned or frozen peaches?
Absolutely! If using canned peaches, drain them well. Frozen peaches should be thawed and patted dry before using.

Do I need a special Twinkie pan?
Nope! While a Twinkie pan is fun, muffin tins or mini loaf pans work just as well.

Can I make these nut-free or dairy-free?
Yes! Use a dairy-free butter alternative and your favorite plant-based milk. Be sure to check all other ingredients.

How can I make these gluten-free?
Substitute a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend for the all-purpose flour.

How do I know when the cakes are done?
Check with a toothpick inserted into the cake layer (not the filling); it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
