Ingredients
Scale
Peach 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 the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Add Peaches: Dump both cans of peaches, including the syrup, into the prepared baking dish and spread them out evenly. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the peaches to add warm spice flavor.
- Distribute Cake Mix: Evenly distribute the dry French vanilla cake mix over the top of the peaches. Press the cake mix down gently to form an even layer.
- Add Butter: Slice the butter into thin pieces and scatter the slices over the cake mix, ensuring an even coverage to help create a golden crust as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach mixture is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes after baking to set slightly. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Do not drain the canned peaches; the syrup helps keep the cake moist and flavorful.
- Using cold butter slices helps in creating a better crust.
- This dessert is best served warm but can be enjoyed at room temperature.
- Alternatively, try using different fruit cans like cherry or apple for variations.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
