Ingredients

  • 2 15-ounce cans sliced peaches in heavy syrup
  • 1 15.25-ounce box yellow cake mix
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted (or 1 cup thinly sliced butter)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
  • Pour both cans of peaches, including the syrup, into the prepared baking dish and spread them into an even layer.
  • Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the peaches. Do not stir.
  • Slowly drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix, covering as much of the dry mix as possible. Sprinkle with cinnamon, if using.
  • Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  • Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Do not stir the layers—this gives the cake its signature texture.
  • Cover as much of the cake mix as possible with butter for an evenly golden topping.
  • Fresh peaches can be substituted when in season.
  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
