Slice about 2 cups of fresh peaches and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder.

In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream 3/4 cup of unsalted butter until fluffy.

Add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the butter and mix until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

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

Mix in 1/4 cup of sour cream and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract until combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until almost combined.

Fold in 3/4 cup of the sliced peaches gently.

Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch pan and smooth it out.

Arrange the remaining peach slices on top of the batter.

Sprinkle a tablespoon of additional sugar on top if desired.

Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan before inverting it onto a serving plate.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
