Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Layer
- 2 cans (14.5 oz each) canned sliced peaches, do not drain
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cake Topping
- 1 box (15.25 oz) French vanilla cake mix
- ½ cup butter, sliced into thin pieces
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Peach Layer: Dump both cans of peaches, including the syrup, into the baking dish. Spread them evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the peaches for added warmth and flavor.
- Add Cake Mix: Evenly distribute the dry French vanilla cake mix over the peaches, gently pressing it down to cover the fruit completely.
- Butter Topping: Slice the butter into thin pieces and scatter them evenly over the cake mix. This helps create a deliciously rich and golden crust.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. This dessert pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Use canned peaches with syrup for optimal sweetness and moisture.
- Do not drain the peaches; the syrup helps keep the cake moist.
- For a twist, try adding chopped nuts or a dash of nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
- Make sure to evenly distribute the butter to get a crispy, golden topping.
- If you prefer a less sweet dessert, you can reduce the cake mix slightly and add more cinnamon.
