Ingredients

  • 850 g Two 15 oz cans Sliced Peaches in Juice or Light Syrup (do not drain)
  • 430 g One standard box Yellow or White Cake Mix
  • 115 g 1 stick Unsalted Butter, thoroughly chilled
  • 2 g 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 g 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg

Instructions

  • Base Layer: Pour both cans of sliced peaches along with their juices directly into an ungreased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading them into an even layer.
  • Spice Infusion: Dust the ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg evenly over the top of the peach layer.
  • Cake Layer: Shake the dry cake mix evenly over the spiced peaches, covering them completely. Use a spatula to smooth the powder into a flat surface, but do not stir it into the fruit.
  • Butter Layer: Slice the cold butter into thin, even pieces and arrange them neatly across the dry cake mix to cover as much area as possible.
  • Bake: Bake uncovered in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes, until the fruit juices bubble at the edges and the crust turns a beautiful golden brown.
  • Rest: Remove from the oven and let the cake sit for 15 minutes at room temperature to cool and set slightly before serving.
