This is a fun and delicious twist on two classic desserts, a peach cobbler and a pound cake. There's a few extra steps for this, but it's definitely worth it in the end!

Instructions
Geez! That was a lot, but now we can start.
Cake
Preheat the oven to 325°. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon.
Butter the Bundt pan, and coat it with the brown sugar mixture. This will give the outside of your cake the flavor and texture of a cobbler crust.
In the medium bowl, add the peaches, 2 tsp of cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp of nutmeg. Mix it together, covering the peaches, and save for later.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the rest of the cinnamon and nutmeg.
In the second small bowl, beat the egg whites until firm. Now place all these bowls to the side.
In the second large bowl, mix the butter and granulated sugar at medium speed until creamy and fluffy.
Beat the egg yolks into the sugar mixture one at a time. Then mix in the vanilla extract and 3/4 cups of the peach syrup. (Alternatively, you can add just 1/2 cup of the syrup and 1/4 cup of the whiskey of your choice.)
Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Once it's mixed well, fold in the milk and egg whites.
Pour half the batter into the Bundt pan. Then add half the peach mixture. Next, fill the Bundt pan with the rest of the batter.
Bake for 1 1/2 hour, checking with a toothpick at about an hour. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the Bundt pan for 10-20 minutes. Remember that the cake will continue to cook after it's removed from the oven. So don't leave it in longer than the recommended time.
Once the cake is cool, remove it from the pan and place on a wire rack (a plate will also do) to continue cooling. Finally, place as many of the remaining peach slices that you'd like on top of the cake.
Glaze
Place the sifted powdered sugar in the now empty and cleaned medium bowl from earlier.
Whisk in whichever liquid (water, milk, liqueur) you choose, one tbsp at a time, until you reach the desired thickness.
Whisk in 1 tsp of the extract.
Take the glaze, and slowly drizzle it over the cake to your preferred liking.
Notes
*If you use a liqueur, you can skip the extract.
