Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour a round cake pan.

Slice peaches and toss them with brown sugar and lemon juice; set aside.

In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

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

Stir in vanilla extract and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until just combined.

Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Arrange the peach slices over the batter in a decorative pattern.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
