Best 9 Homemade Peach Filling For Cakes Recipes

PEACH FILLING

Steps:

• Peel, core, and chop the peaches into small, 1/2" cubes or thin slices depending on what you're using the filling for. I like small pieces for things like hand pies and larger pieces for peach pie or for use as a topping. Make sure you remove the skins or they will taste chewy and not have a great texture. You can also use frozen peaches which makes this even easier!
• Add your sliced peaches to a large saucepan over medium heat. Add water, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar.
• Cook the mixture until the peaches are as soft as you like them. Fresh peaches will take the longest to cook.
• Combine your ClearGel (or cornstarch) with the cool water and whisk together to make a slurry
• Pour the slurry into your hot peach mixture and cook until the peach filling is nice and thick and turns clear. 3-5 minutes. Cook for one more minute to make sure the ClearGel is thoroughly cooked.
• Remove the mixture from the heat and add in your lemon juice and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
• Now you can pour the hot filling into jars and can store your peach filling! Check out this blog post on canning peach pie filling for more detailed info. Storing in the fridge will work, but I prefer to let the filling cool down and freeze peach pie filling. The filling is good in the fridge for up to a week or 6 months in the freezer.

POLENTA POUND CAKE WITH PEACH TOPPING AND MASCARPONE WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Set up a grill for cooking over indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
• Spray the bottom of a loaf pan with the cooking spray; line with parchment paper, then spray with cooking spray one more time. Set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, polenta, baking powder and salt. Set aside. To a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the butter and granulated sugar. Cream until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs and egg yolk and beat again to fully incorporate. Add the ricotta, Greek yogurt, vanilla and orange zest and beat again to combine, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add the dry ingredients and mix by hand to incorporate. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, then place on the indirect-heat side of the grill, close the lid of the grill and bake until set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 minutes to an hour. Remove from the grill and let cool completely.
• For the peach topping: Meanwhile, add the marmalade, orange juice and peaches to a pot, place over indirect heat and bring to a gentle simmer for the flavors to meld together, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Make the mascarpone whipped cream: Beat the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar with a blender until whipped cream forms. Fold in the mascarpone and vanilla.
• Remove the cake from the pan, then slice and serve with the peach topping and mascarpone whipped cream spooned over the top.

• Loosely cover with the overhanging plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours. Cover and reserve any extra peach mixture for serving.
• To serve, carefully lift the cake from the pan using the plastic wrap, then discard the wrap. Place a few basil leaves over the top. Slice and serve with the reserved peaches spooned over the top.

PEACH COBBLER COFFEE CAKE
