Grease a cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper, then grease the parchment.

Slice peaches and arrange them in concentric circles in the bottom of the pan.

Pour the caramel over the arranged peaches.

In a mixing bowl, combine room temperature butter and sugar, mixing until well combined.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.

In another bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, kosher salt, and baking powder.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk, and mix until just combined.

Pour the batter over the peaches and caramel in the pan.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
