Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking dish.
  2. Cream softened butter and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold the chopped peaches into the batter until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and enough milk for a smooth consistency, then drizzle over the cooled cake.
