‘Winter dessert’: Just 2 ingredients. People never believe how easy it is.

This Simple 2-Ingredient Peach Cobbler Bake is the ultimate “emergency” dessert for when you want something warm and comforting with zero effort. The heavy syrup from the canned peaches acts as the liquid for the cake mix, creating a unique texture that is part-cake and part-dumpling. As it bakes, the peaches bubble up through the mix, creating a golden, craggy crust that tastes remarkably like a traditional scratch-made cobbler.

Simple 2-Ingredient Peach Cobbler

Ingredients:

Directions:

Step 1: Prep the Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch glass casserole dish. This ensures the caramelized sugars from the peach syrup don’t stick to the sides.

Step 2: The Fruit Base: Pour the entire can of peaches—syrup and all—into the dish. Spread the slices out so they form an even layer across the bottom.

Tip: Do not drain the can! The syrup is the only “wet” ingredient in this recipe. Without it, the cake mix will stay dry and powdery instead of turning into a golden crust.

Step 3: The Cake Blanket: Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top of the peaches. Gently smooth it out, but do not stir. Keeping the layers separate is what gives it that distinct cobbler texture.

Step 4: Break the Clumps: Use a fork to break up any large chunks of cake mix. A loose, sandy texture on top helps the steam from the peaches rise through and “cook” the flour.

Step 5: Bake: Place in the oven for 35/45 minutes. You are looking for a deep golden-brown top and bubbling syrup around the edges.

Step 6: The Rest: Let the cobbler sit for 10/15 minutes before serving. This “setting” time allows the juices to thicken so the dessert isn’t too runny when you scoop into it.
