# What You'll Need:

→ Cake Base

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
03 - 4 large eggs
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
06 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
08 - 1/2 cup milk
09 - 1 cup diced peaches, fresh or canned and drained
10 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional

→ Cobbler Topping

11 - 2 tablespoons brown sugar
12 - 1 tablespoon melted butter
13 - 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

→ Cream Filling

14 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
15 - 1 cup marshmallow fluff
16 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
17 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a loaf or bundt pan. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in vanilla extract.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined, ensuring a smooth batter.
03 - Gently fold diced peaches and ground cinnamon into the batter, distributing evenly to maintain the cake's delicate texture.
04 - In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, melted butter, and flour to create a crumbly mixture. Sprinkle this topping over the surface of the batter for a caramelized finish.
05 - Pour the prepared batter with topping into the pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before proceeding.
06 - In a clean bowl, beat softened butter with marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until a smooth and fluffy filling is achieved.
07 - Once cooled, use a piping bag to gently inject the cream filling into the cake from the bottom or sides, mimicking a Twinkie-style effect.
08 - Slice and serve, enjoying the layers of peach, buttery pound cake, and light cream filling.

# Helpful Suggestions:

01 - Enhance the peaches with a splash of fresh lemon juice before incorporating for added brightness.
02 - Serve slices slightly warm with vanilla ice cream for an authentic cobbler-inspired presentation.
