Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray an 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine salted butter, brown sugar, and a dash of cinnamon. Microwave until the butter is melted and smooth, then pour into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Arrange sliced peaches evenly over the brown sugar mixture in the baking dish.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Set aside.
  5. Beat softened butter until light and fluffy, then slowly add granulated sugar until fully incorporated.
  6. Add egg and vanilla to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until smooth.
  7. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, alternating with milk.
  8. Pour the batter evenly over the peaches in the baking dish.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate and cool for another 10-15 minutes.
