Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) of canned peaches in juice or light syrup

Topping

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Drain canned peaches lightly, reserving a small amount of juice for moisture, then spread peaches evenly in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Sprinkle the Cake Mix: Evenly scatter the dry yellow cake mix over the peaches without mixing to create a crunchy topping.
  3. Add Cinnamon and Nuts: Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the cake mix and, if desired, add chopped nuts for extra texture and warmth.
  4. Pour Melted Butter: Drizzle melted butter gently over the cake mix, covering as much surface as possible to develop a golden crust.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden brown.

Notes

  • Distribute butter evenly using a spoon to avoid dry patches on top.
  • Use high-quality canned peaches for best flavor.
  • Keep layers separate to maintain texture contrast and avoid mixing.
  • Let cake rest 10–15 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
  • Experiment by adding oats or shredded coconut for extra texture.
