💬 FAQs
A runny cobbler means that your fruit cans had a lot of juice, mine had about 1 cup of fruit juice combined. So if yours has more leave the extra out. The cake mix should absorb any liquids in this dish making it thick and delicious.
Of course you can, peel and chop peaches them mix with some sugar, butter and cornstarch then spread at the bottom of the dish then top with cake mix and grated butter.

Peach cobbler with cake mix
Ingredients
- 2 cans peaches (15ounce) each
- 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 1 ½ stick butter frozen
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a 13x9 baking dish pour the peach cans with their juices.
- Sprinkle cake mix on top and spread evenly with the back of a spoon do not press or mix it with peaches.
- Grate a 1 ¼ stick of frozen butter, leaving the remaining ¼ cup in the freezer.
- Sprinkle the frozen grated butter on top of the cake evenly.
- If you cannot cover the whole top then grate the remaining ¼ cup and spread it over.
- Bake in the center of your oven for 45-50 minutes until bubbly and top browns nicely and evenly.
- Let it cool down slightly then serve topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Notes
- I’ve tried peaches both in natural juices and heavy syrup. We like the natural juice better as it was lighter on sugar and with the addition of whipped cream you do not really miss the extra sugars but this is up to your personal preference.
- Use white or yellow cake mix.
- You can sprinkle some cinnamon on top of the peaches or while serving.
- Add a teaspoon of almond extract gives it a great flavor too.
- Variations:
- You can literally use any canned fruit you like.
- Use white or yellow cake mix.
- Mix things up like cherries and chocolate cake mix, blueberries and lemon cake mix.. etc.

Hi Amira, I can't buy BC Yellow cake mix in the UK. Please can you suggest a UK alternative? Many of your recipes use US packets and mixes. I'd love if you could include UK swaps! Thank you, and thank you for one of my favourite recipe pages!

Hello Linds, you can use this recipe for homemade yellow cake mix. I hope this helps.
