Super Easy Southern Peach Cobbler Cake
Sweet peaches, a buttery golden crust, and a cake-like base that soaks up every juicy drop, this Peach Cobbler Cake is what summer dessert dreams are made of. It’s the kind of recipe that looks simple (because it is), but once you take that first bite and hit the soft cake under the peaches, you’ll be hooked. No fancy techniques, no mixer, and definitely no fussy ingredients, just a warm, old-fashioned cobbler in cake form that practically makes itself.
Ingredients
- 7 cups peaches (peeled and sliced, about 7-8 peaches)
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup peach schnapps (optional)
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 ½ cups half-and-half
- ½ cup butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º. Use a 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Peel and slices peaches into a bowl and toss with ½ cup sugar and schnapps if using.
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour and baking powder. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and combine with your fingers. Add 2 cups sugar and combine. Pour in half-and-half and stir just until combined. Don’t over mix.
- Place a ½ cup of butter in a large baking dish and place in the oven for about 5 minutes, just until melted. Remove and pour the batter over the butter spreading it out so that it covers the bottom of the pan.
- Place peaches along with all the juice over the top of the batter. Try not to get too many in the center but spread them out evenly. Place a cookie sheet under the pan as it might spill over in the oven.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until the cake part is brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Barbara's Notes + Tips
- You can use frozen peaches, just let them thaw completely before adding the sugar.
- I prefer the peaches peeled but it is not necessary.
- You can adjust the amount of peaches but more than 7 cups and it will get too juicy.
- Make sure to put a baking sheet under the dish to catch any overflow while it bakes.
