  5. Combine the buttermilk and vanilla extract in another bowl.
  6. Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk mixture to the creamed butter and eggs.
  7. Fold in the peaches that have been lightly coated in flour.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack.
