Ingredients
3 cans (15 oz each) peaches in heavy syrup
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 box yellow cake mix
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup butter, very thinly sliced
¾ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Drain two of the three cans of peaches, reserving the syrup from one can.
- Spread the drained peaches evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle the peaches with cinnamon.
- Evenly distribute the dry cake mix over the peaches, using the back of a fork to gently press it down.
- Sprinkle brown sugar over the cake mix.
- Arrange the thinly sliced butter pieces evenly over the top.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans over the butter.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- If the pecans begin to darken too much, loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil and continue baking.
Notes
- Use canned peaches year-round or fresh peaches in season for a fresher taste.
- Try different cake mixes like white, butter pecan, or spice cake for variety.
- Add shredded coconut, raisins, or walnuts for extra texture and flavor.
- To make dairy-free, substitute butter with a dairy-free alternative and choose a dairy-free cake mix.
- Freeze unbaked assembled cake covered tightly for up to 3 months; bake from frozen adding extra time.
- Reheat leftovers in the microwave or oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes.
