- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

- Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing just until combined. Fold in the diced peaches.
- Bake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Make the frosting: Melt the butter in a small saucepan, stir in the brown sugar, cook until bubbly, then whisk in the milk. Let cool, stir in powdered sugar and vanilla, beat until smooth.
- Frost the cake: Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and let set before slicing.
