For the Peach Cobbler Layer:

To Serve the Peach Cobbler:

To prepare the peach cobbler layer:
To prepare the cake batter:
Pre-heat the oven to 350°F and grease a 10-inch Bundt pan or loaf pan.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time; followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk and mix until just combined.
To assemble and bake the cake:
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan.
Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter.
Top with the remaining cake batter; spreading it gently to cover the peaches.
Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven; allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Use Fresh Peaches: If in season, fresh peaches add the best flavor.
Do Not Overmix: Overmixing the batter can make the cake dense.
