Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Peach Layer
  • 4 cans peaches in heavy syrup 16 oz each, undrained
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Cake Topping
  • 2 packages yellow cake mix 15.25 oz each, dry
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cold, cubed or sliced

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Pour all four cans of peaches, including syrup, into the baking dish and spread evenly.
  3. Sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the peaches for added warmth and spice.
  4. Sprinkle dry yellow cake mix over the peaches. Gently press it down with a spatula or clean hands. Do not stir.
  5. Evenly distribute cold, cubed or sliced butter on top of the cake mix.
  6. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the top is golden and the peach filling is bubbling.
  7. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Best served warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Don’t drain the peaches—the syrup is essential for a jammy texture. Use cold butter for a better crust. You can swap in white or butter cake mix for a twist. Add chopped nuts or shredded coconut on top for extra crunch. For a gluten-free version, simply use a gluten-free cake mix.
