Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or a springform pan. Alternatively, line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Pour half the batter into the prepared cake pan. Arrange half of the sliced peaches evenly over the batter.
Pour the remaining batter over the peach layer, spreading it gently with a spatula. Arrange the remaining peach slices on top of the batter in a decorative pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
