03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 - 1 cup granulated sugar

07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - 1/3 cup buttermilk
09 - 3 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
10 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a springform pan.
02 - In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
03 - In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy.
04 - Add the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract, beating well after each addition.
05 - Mix in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk until just combined.
06 - Gently fold in the peach slices that have been coated with lemon juice.
07 - Pour the batter into the prepared pan and arrange additional peach slices on top if desired. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For substitutions, use Greek yogurt or sour cream instead of buttermilk.
02 - Try nectarines or plums if peaches aren’t available.
03 - Make the cake one day ahead and store it covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
04 - If the cake appears too dense, avoid overmixing the batter.
05 - Ensure peaches are ripe but firm for best results.
