Recipe
Once you’ve gathered your ingredients, it’s time to start baking!
- Preheat your oven to 350F. And grease 2 9 inch baking pans in preparation
- Sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together
- Grab a large bowl and mix the oil, butter, and sugar together until light and fluffy
- One at a time, add the eggs. Only add the next egg, once the previous one is combined
- Now add the buttermilk and vanilla extract and combine well
- Grab your sifted flour mix and add half to your batter. Mix well and add the pineapple, carrots, coconut, and half of the walnuts
- Combine well. Now add the remaining sifted flour mix and mix well.
- Distribute the batter between your two greased pans and bake for around 40 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean when placed in the center
- Now for the glaze while the cake is cooking. Grab a saucepan and mix the buttermilk, butter, sugar, corn syrup, and baking soda. Place on medium heat until well blended. Heat for around 3 minutes and no sugar remains
- Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract
- Once the cake is baked and cool, use a toothpick to prick around 20 holes in the top of each cake

- Get your cakes from the fridge and invert one (the glazed side should be down). Put a third of the frosting in the center and spread to the edges. Grab the other layer (glazed side down) and frost this one too. Now add your remaining walnuts
- Your cake is ready!

FAQs
What is the Secret to a Moist Pound Cake?
There are a few ingredients to add to a pound cake that make it extra moist. You can try adding buttermilk, sour cream or cream cheese. This not only adds moisture, but it also adds flavor too. If you're focusing solely on the moistness of your cake, try adding vegetable oil, in place of butter. While it's not as flavorful as butter, it makes for a very tender cake.
Do You Have to Peel Peaches for Cobbler?
Absolutely not! If you're struggling for time, or simply want to leave the skin on your peaches - you definitely can. The peaches will soften during baking, so whether your peaches have skin on, or not; they'll still taste just as delicious once baked.
What Kind of Peach is Best For Cobbler?
There are several varieties of peaches. However, the best peaches for baking are freestone peaches. This is because it's super easy to separate the flesh from the pit. It's worth mentioning that any peaches will work, it just may take extra time to remove the pit if you're opting for another variety of peach.
