Great recipe. Loved the ease of preparation and inexpensive items found in most kitchen pantry's. Made the recipe exactly as written and it was wonderful, but I have since customized it to my family's preference. Increased the peaches to 2.5 cans and drained the syrup from the 3rd can only (we like more peaches), used peaches in LIGHT syrup and I haven't been able to tell the difference. Sprinkled cinnamon over peaches before adding the cake mix and then finished the recipe with a 1/3 cup dark brown sugar on top of the cake mix, followed by the the cinnamon and finally chilled a cube of butter and grated it over the top (handheld cheese grater works wonders for this). This spreads the butter more evenly and allows it to achieve a crystalized finish. Rave reviews every time!

This cake was so good. I changed the recipe a little though. Instead of just adding the dry cake mix on top of the peaches I mixed the cake mix with the eggs and the oil and then I spread the cake mix over the peaches. I also sprinkled cinnamon over the peaches. Very delicious served with vanilla ice cream on top.

Wonderfull camping recipie. I make this in my motorhome. My grandkids love it. To distribute the butter evenly, I use cold butter and a small grater.

I have made this recipe for many years and my family loves it. I partially drain the peaches and mine is never soggy. I also find it easier to melt the butter or margarine and drizzle it over the top.

I've made this several times and it's a good, easy dessert. To cut down on the "sweetness", use peaches in very light syrup instead of heavy syrup.

Very good, quick and easy to make. My 13 year old made it with very little help from me. It's rich and very sweet, but the sweetness lessens after the first day and the taste is great. I have tried regular and lite peaches. The lite is definitely the best. I added about 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon to the peaches and sprinkled cinnamon on top of the butter. It was a VERY big hit and everyone loved it. The best part is that noone knew that the topping was a cake mix! This one's a keeper. I've made it at least 10 times! Just too easy!!

Yummy, I made it for dinner. everyone loved it couldn't belive that you put the cake mix in dry. Wasn't sogy, I did drain off some of the juice. I used peaches that I had canned with no sugar. Put about 1/4 cup brown sugar on top of mix with some cinnamon & the butter.

My Bunco group loved this! Be sure to cut the butter into tiny pieces to ensure it melts properly and you don't end up with powdered cake mix on the top.

This is a delicious and easy cake to make. I like to put the dry cake mix in a bowl, melt the butter and pour it over the cake mix. Then I mix it until crumbly and sprinkle on top along with some chopped walnuts.

This is a great recipe. However, I made a few changes. I used 1 29oz. cans of peaches with juice, plus a 16oz. can w/o the juice. I sprinkled cinnamon over the peaches before covering with cake mix, sprinkled a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon over cake mix. Finally, I shredded butter over topping as suggested by another reviewer. It turned out great, not soggy at all...baked for 60 minutes.

Sorry, but this one really missed the mark. I followed instructions exactly and it came out as a peachy, gummy, no cake texture bomb and I would NEVER recommend it to anyone. The idea would have had a much better chance had it used a full boxed cake batter instead of just "dumping" the raw dry ingredients over the wet peaches. If you want a nice peach dessert then simply lookup any number of cobbler recipes on AR. I still think Jessica is a great personality for these kinds of videos. She just missed the whole target on this one. I think it's also just the simple nature of these kinds of shortcut recipes. More often than not they fall short. Don't waste your ingredients on this one and that's my last word.

Easiest peach cobbler ever! I use peach pie filling and 1 & 1/2 sticks of butter. Add a little extra cinnamon on top of peaches, along with cinnamon sugar on top of cake mix. Everybody raves over it! ❤️

Easy, but instead of saying press firmly it should say press cake mix into peaches.

Loved the easy recipe and the mention of grated butter on the top. Made a similar recipe before and cut the butter but portions of the crust stayed powdery. This time I froze a stick of butter and grated it over the top as suggested. Absolutely perfect crust! Added slivered almonds to the top. Will definitely use this recipe and the grated butter tip again.
