Ingredients
  

4 cups sliced fresh peaches (or canned peaches, thoroughly drained)

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup chopped pecans (optional, for added crunch)

Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Gently toss the ingredients together until the peaches are thoroughly coated with the sugar and spice mixture.

      Carefully spread the peach mixture evenly across the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, ensuring an even layer at the base.

        With a light hand, sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the peach layer, making sure not to mix it into the peaches.

          Drizzle the melted butter generously over the dry cake mix, ensuring all areas are covered to create a buttery crust as it bakes.

            If desired, sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly across the surface of the melted butter for a delightful crunch and nutty flavor.

              Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top turns a beautiful golden brown and the edges are bubbly.

                Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for approximately 10 minutes before serving. This will help set the layers slightly for easier serving.
