Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cans (14.5 oz each) canned sliced peaches (do not drain)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
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 peaches: Dump both cans of peaches, including the syrup, evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the peaches to add warm spice flavor.
- Add cake mix: Evenly distribute the dry French vanilla cake mix over the top of the peaches. Gently press the cake mix down to cover the filling.
- Top with butter: Slice the butter into thin pieces and scatter evenly across the cake mix layer. This will melt during baking to create a rich, golden crust.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- Do not drain the canned peaches; the syrup adds moisture and sweetness essential to the cake’s texture.
- Using thin slices of butter helps it melt more evenly across the cake topping.
- If desired, you can substitute the French vanilla cake mix with yellow or white cake mix for a slightly different flavor.
- Allowing the cake to cool slightly before serving helps it set and improves cutting and serving.
- This cake can be reheated gently in the microwave or oven before serving leftovers.
