Ingredients
- 15 oz Sliced peaches in syrup (1 can) or 2 cups fresh peaches, sliced
- 15 ¼ oz Yellow cake mix (1 box)
- ½ cup Unsalted butter, melted (1 stick)
- 1 tbsp Ground cinnamon
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional for serving)
Instructions
- 1Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- 2Prepare the Skillet: Use a 10 to 12-inch cast iron skillet or another oven-safe skillet. If you're using fresh peaches, slice and place them in the skillet. If using canned peaches, pour them (with syrup) directly into the skillet.
- 3Add Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the peaches. Do not stir; just let it sit on top.
- 4Add Cinnamon: sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the top.
- 5Drizzle with Butter: Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix.
- 6Bake the Cake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cake mix is cooked through.
- 7Serve: Allow it to cool slightly before serving. This cake is delicious on its own or served warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Baking Time: Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cake mix is cooked through. Ovens can vary, so start checking at the 40-minute mark.
- Peach Options: Both fresh and canned peaches work great. If using canned, don’t drain the syrup—that’s what keeps the cake moist and flavorful!
- Butter Distribution: Pour the melted butter as evenly as possible over the cake mix. This helps create that delicious, crisp topping.
- Serve Warm: This dessert is best enjoyed warm, straight out of the skillet. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- Make It Your Own: Try adding a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts on top for a little crunch, or a pinch of nutmeg for extra spice.
