Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Peel and slice the peaches into thin wedges. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the sliced peaches into the batter using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
