Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and dried lavender.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk until just combined.
  6. Fold in the sliced peaches gently.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
