Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour the sliced peaches and their juice into an oblong baking pan.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix layer.
- Sprinkle with coconut and chopped nuts if desired.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour until the top is golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh peaches if they're in season. If you don’t have a box cake mix, you can make a simple vanilla cake batter from scratch. To enhance the texture, you can mix in some oats or granola with the cake mix. If you prefer a nut-free dessert, simply skip the chopped nuts or substitute them with sunflower seeds.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Jane's Yum Yum warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delightful contrast. This dish pairs beautifully with Aunt Lydia's Molasses Bread for a comforting meal. For a festive touch, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of yogurt on the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain them before baking to avoid excess moisture. This will help maintain the right texture for the dish. Adjust the baking time slightly if needed, as frozen fruit may take a bit longer to heat through.
Is there a gluten-free option for this recipe?
Absolutely! You can use a gluten-free cake mix as a substitute for the standard mix. Just be sure to check the packaging for any specific instructions regarding baking times or adjustments needed when using gluten-free ingredients.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare Jane's Yum Yum a day in advance. Assemble the dish and cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Bake it just before serving, and if you need to reheat, follow the storage instructions provided. It’s a great option for meal prep or gatherings!
