PEACH COBBLER POUND CAKE WITH BROWN BUTTER GLAZE
PREP TIME 20 MIN. – COOK TIME 1 HOUR 30 MIN. READY IN 1 HOUR 50 MIN. – SERVINGS 16
Cooking spray 2¼ cups packed brown sugar, divided 1 tbsp plus 2¼ tsp ground cinnamon, divided 3 cups plus 3 tbsp all-purpose flour, divided ½ tsp ground nutmeg ½ tsp salt 2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, divided
1 (8 oz) pkg reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature 1½ cups plus 3 tbsp granulated sugar, divided 1 tbsp plus 1 tsp vanilla extract, divided 5 large eggs 3 peaches, sliced 1 tsp lemon juice 1½ cups confectioners’ sugar 4 tbsp heavy cream, plus more if desired
STEP 1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 10-cup Bundt pan with the cooking spray. Make the cinnamon swirl filling: In a small bowl, combine ¾ cup brown sugar, 1 tbsp cinnamon, and 3 tbsp flour. Stir to combine and set aside. STEP 2 In a large bowl, combine remaining 3 cups flour and 2 tsp cinnamon. Add the nutmeg and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, combine 1½ cups (3 sticks) butter with the cream cheese. Beat on medium 3 min., until fluffy. Add remaining 1½ cups brown sugar and 1½ cups granulated sugar. Beat 3 min. more. Add 1 tbsp vanilla and the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. STEP 3 To bowl, add flour mixture. With a rubber spatula, fold batter together until just combined. Add half of batter to prepared pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl filling over batter and top with remaining batter. Bake until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs, about 1 hour 20 min. Once cake is baked, allow to cool in pan 5 min., then invert cake onto a wire rack to cool completely. STEP 4 Make the roasted peaches: Increase oven temperature to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine the peaches, remaining 3 tbsp granulated sugar, remaining ¼ tsp
cinnamon, and the lemon juice. Toss to combine. Spread peaches out onto a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast 10 min., until tender. STEP 5 Make the brown butter glaze: In a 10-inch skillet, melt remaining ½ cup (1 stick) butter on medium. Cook 2–3 min., until milk solids brown, swirling pan to prevent burning. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the confectioners’ sugar, remaining 1 tsp vanilla, and 4 tbsp heavy cream. Whisk glaze together. If desired, add more heavy cream for a thinner consistency. To serve, drizzle brown butter glaze over cooled cake. Top with roasted peaches and serve.

Q&A with Britney
WHAT IS JUNETEENTH? Juneteenth is the day in which enslaved Africans in Galveston, TX, found out they were free, two and a half years after President Lincoln outlawed slavery. Juneteenth marks our country’s second independence day, June 19th.
HAVE YOU ALWAYS CELEBRATED JUNETEENTH? I first learned about it in my mid-twenties when I saw a festival flyer. I was astonished I’d never known about it before. Since I started my blog, I talk about Juneteenth each year to spread awareness. I also participate in a virtual cookout hosted by Eat the Culture. It is always so moving to share stories and recipes with others.
WHAT DOES JUNETEENTH MEAN TO YOU NOW? It has allowed me to delve into African cooking traditions and given me a deeper understanding of soul food. My family’s recipes can be traced back to my ancestors; that gives me a sense of purpose and pride. As new parents, my husband and I hope to start our own Juneteenth traditions as a family.
