## Step-by-Step Instructions
### 1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt or loaf pan.
### 2. Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy — about 3-5 minutes.
### 3. Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
### 4. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
### 5. Alternate Adding Dry Ingredients and Buttermilk
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with buttermilk (start and end with the dry ingredients). Mix just until combined after each addition.
### 6. Fold in Peaches
Gently fold in the sliced peaches, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
### 7. Bake
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
### 8. Cool and Serve
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
