In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the egg and mix well.

Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract until combined.

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and a pinch of turbinado sugar.

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

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Arrange the sliced peaches evenly over the batter.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 5 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan before serving.
