Notes
Make sure your butter is softened for easier mixing. For more flavor, you can add spices like nutmeg or use flavored extracts. Use fresh peaches when in season, or canned peaches when they aren’t available, but make sure to drain them well. You can experiment with other fruits too! Try using blueberries or raspberries for a berry crunch pound cake.
