Ingredients

1 (15 oz) can of sliced peaches in syrup (or 2 cups fresh peaches, sliced)
1 box (15.25 oz) of yellow cake mix
1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional for serving)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare 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.
Add Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the peaches. Do not stir; just let it sit on top.
Add Cinnamon: sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the top.
Drizzle with Butter: Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix.
Bake 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.
Serve: 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.
