This scrumptious pound cake is filled with peaches and cream cheese making it so much moister than regular pound cakes. Then it's drizzled with a luscious cinnamon glaze providing an extra pop of flavor. It's the perfect dessert for summer when fresh peaches are in season.

Notes
NOTE: It is critical that you do not underbake the cake. If you do the cake will come out in clumps.NOTE: You must use the largest bundt pan available. Even still the cake will rise considerably while baking. I recommend using a narrow rubber spatula to go between the cake and the bundt pan so that it makes the cake come out easier. You may have to use a knife to separate the cake from the center tube in order to enable the cake to come out of the pan easier.NOTE: My oven runs slow. I'm never able to get this cake done in less than 1 1/2 hours. But you should start checking at about 1 hour 15 minutes. If a knife inserted to the very bottom of the cake comes out completely clean, then the cake is done.NOTE: Allow icing to set 15 minutes before cutting cake.
