Time 55m

Yield Makes one 5-by-9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 peaches, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick wedges
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 store-bought pound cake, sliced horizontally into 3 even pieces

Steps:

  • Toss peaches with 1 tablespoon sugar. Whisk cream and remaining 1/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Line a 5-by-9-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a 3-inch overhang on all sides. Lay bottom slice of pound cake in pan. Arrange half the peaches on top in a single layer. Spread half the whipped cream over peaches, and top with middle slice of pound cake. Repeat with remaining peaches, whipped cream, and slice of pound cake.
  • Wrap cake gently with plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 45 minutes.
  • Remove cake from pan by using plastic overhangs to lift. Slice cake into 1-inch-thick slices. Serve immediately.
