Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 28 ounces peaches , 1 large can in heavy syrup
- 18 ounce box yellow cake mix
- 12 Tablespoons butter , cold
Optional: Ground cinnamon, chopped nuts, vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Then pour the peaches (with syrup) into the bottom of a 9x13" pan.
- Dump the cake mix evenly over the fruit. Then slice the butter into thin pieces (about 24 pieces) over the top. I place 6 rows of butter across the top and 4 down, so it melts evenly. You can top with a little cinnamon or chopped nuts if desired.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Remove from oven and allow the cake to cool slightly before serving.
- Dish into bowls and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top if desired.
Notes
Butter: I use salted butter for this dish, however if you are sensitive to salt I would use unsalted.
Peaches: You may use fresh or frozen peaches, however mix with 2 to 3 Tablespoons of sugar and let sit for about 10 to 15 minute or until is has created a syrup.
Crockpot method: Pour the fruit in the bottom of the crockpot. Dump the cake mix on top and add the sliced butter. Cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.
Dutch oven method for camping: Line the pan with foil and spray with nonstick spray. Add the fruit filling, then pour the cake mix on top and then the sliced butter. Cover with lid and cook on hot coals for about 30 minutes.
