Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray, then lightly dust with flour.
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are completely incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract, followed by the finely diced white peaches, gently folding them into the batter to ensure even distribution.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the pound cake with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve!
