Ingredients

Filling

6 ripe peaches
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
2 tablespoon cornstarch
½ lemon , the zest and juice

Topping

15.2 oz (430 g) vanilla cake mix box
¾ cup (170 g) salted butter , thinly sliced, room temperature
2 tablespoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC), without the fan on. Grease a 9x13-inch pan with some butter.

Filling

Slice the peaches into 6-8 wedges each. Put them in a big bowl together with sugar, cornstarch, zest, and lemon juice. Mix well using a spatula.
Pour a bit more than half of the peaches into the pan, with all the juice. Spread evenly.

Topping

Using your hand, sprinkle the cake mix evenly on top. I like to use my fingers after that and spread it all around, just for good measure.
Arrange the thinly sliced butter on top, making sure they're spread out evenly. Reserve 4-5 slices to put on the rest of the peaches later. Place the rest of the peaches randomly. Put the reserved butter slices on top of them.
Optional but I highly recommend mixing brown sugar and cinnamon powder and sprinkling them on top.

Bake

Bake on the middle rack for 50 minutes or until it's bubbly on the sides and the top looks golden brown. Cool slightly before serving, enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to slice the butter thinly and put them evenly on the cake mix. This will prevent dry cake mix spots.
If using canned peaches, use 2 cans of 15 oz each. Drain 1 can but pour the other together with its syrup. Omit the sugar in this case.
Ripe peaches are usually sweet that's why I'm using just a bit of sugar. Adjust the sugar amount accordingly and to your preference.
Use a portable oven thermometer to get an accurate oven temperature. I use it every single time I bake.
