Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (29 oz / 822 g) sliced peaches, drained
- 1 box (15.25 oz / 432 g) yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, sliced thinly
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Drain the canned peaches using a fine mesh strainer for about a minute to remove excess juice.
- Spread the peaches evenly in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle the entire box of yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches without pressing down.
- Slice the butter into thin pats and place them evenly on top of the cake mix.
- Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy and peach juices bubble around the edges.
- Remove from oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes to allow the juices to thicken.
- Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Drain peaches well to avoid soggy cake. Slice butter thinly for even melting and a golden crust. Do not stir the ingredients; layering creates the signature texture. Tent with foil if crust browns too quickly. Add 5 extra minutes baking time if oven was not preheated. Optional: sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg on peaches before adding cake mix for extra flavor.
