  3. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the top of the peaches, patting it down gently to create a flat surface.

If you see dry spots of cake mix toward the end of baking, simply drop a small, thin slice of butter directly onto the dry area and let it finish baking. Do not stir the ingredients at any point.
