• 2 Tbsp salted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Cinnamon Swirl:

• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
• 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Pound Cake:

• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Peach Topping:
   • Toss the sliced peaches with melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl until evenly coated.
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) convection or 325°F (163°C) conventional. Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan that’s 3 inches tall.
   • Spread the peach mixture onto the bottom of the pan.
2. Make the Cinnamon Swirl:
   • In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Pound Cake Batter:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
   • Add room temperature butter and beat with an electric mixer until the mixture forms pea-sized chunks, then increase speed and beat until it resembles a paste.
   • Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Scrape the bowl as needed.
   • Mix in Greek yogurt and vanilla extract just until combined.
4. Assemble and Bake:
   • Spread half of the batter over the peach layer in the pan.
   • Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter.
   • Top with the remaining batter, smoothing out the top.
   • Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
5. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then invert onto a plate or cake stand.
   • Serve slightly warm or at room temperature, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
