Peach Buttermilk Bundt Cake

May 31, 2015 ·

Peach Buttermilk Bundt Cake has a delicious cinnamon swirl running through the middle of a cream cheese, buttermilk cake studded with peaches throughout. Thank you to CansGetYouCooking.com through the Mom It Forward Blogger Network for sponsoring this post.

This peaches and cream-inspired Peach Buttermilk Bundt Cake recipe is made by combining my favorite elements from two cake recipes – this Blueberry Buttermilk cake and this Poppy Seed cake. Nothing beats buttermilk in baked goods, which becomes even more delicious when it is combined with cream cheese and vanilla. The cinnamon sugar swirl makes any cake absolutely irresistible, especially when combined with diced peaches.
