Ingredients

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

Step 2 -Grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan.

Step 3 -In a single layer, add 1/2 of the peach slices to the bottom of the prepared fluted pan. Set the pan aside.

Step 4 -In a small bowl, add the brown sugar, the cinnamon, and the nutmeg and whisk to combine.

Step 5 -Evenly sprinkle 1/2 of the brown sugar mixture on top of the peach layer in the pan. Set aside the remaining brown sugar mixture.

Step 6 -Evenly pour 1/4 cup of the salted melted butter and the bourbon on top of the brown sugar mixture layer in the pan.

Step 7 -In a large bowl with an electric stand mixer or a hand mixer on high speed, add 2 sticks of the unsalted butter and the granulated sugar and beat until fluffy and light in color, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 8 -Add the cream cheese to the sugar mixture and beat until combined, about 2 minutes.

Step 9 -Add the eggs, 1 at a time, to the cream cheese mixture and beat well between each addition.

Step 10 -Add the flour, the baking powder, and the salt to the cream cheese mixture and beat to combine.

Step 11 -Add 1 tablespoon of the vanilla extract and 1/3 cup of the milk to the cream cheese mixture and with a spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and beat until well-combined into a batter. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 12 -With a spatula, evenly add 1/2 of the batter to the pan.

Step 13 -Evenly add the remaining peach slices to the top of the batter.

Step 14 -Evenly sprinkle the reserved brown sugar mixture on top of the peach layer in the pan.

Step 15 -Evenly spread the remaining batter on top of the brown sugar mixture layer.

Step 16 -Gently tap the pan on a work surface to eliminate any large air bubbles.

Step 17 -Carefully transfer the pan to a baking sheet to avoid any spills during baking.

Step 18 -Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Step 19 -Transfer the baked cake from the oven to a wire rack and let it cool in the pan, about 10-20 minutes.

Step 20 -Transfer the cooled cake to a serving plate and let it cool completely.

Step 21 -When the cake is cool, in a medium bowl, add the confectioners' sugar, the remaining vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of the remaining milk and whisk to combine. The glaze mixture should be smooth and pourable. Add the extra milk, a little at a time, if needed to achieve the desired consistency.

Step 22 -With a fork or a spoon, drizzle the icing mixture over the cooled cake.

Step 23 -With a serrated knife, cut the iced cake into serving-sized slices and serve.
