Move oven rack to the lowest position and preheat the oven according to the package instructions -- it's usually 350.
Place the dry cake mix and canned peaches, including all of the liquid, in a large mixing bowl. Do not add the water called for on the box mix. With a hand mixer, mix on low for 30 seconds until the mixture is moistened, then on medium speed for about one minute until fluffy.
Pour the cake batter into an angel food cake pan. Run a knife through the batter to deflate any air pockets. Bake according to the package instructions until the top of the cake is dark brown with dry cracks, 35-45 minutes.
Immediately invert the pan on a cooling rack. Cool the cake upside down in the pan. Run a knife around the edge of the cake and carefully remove it from the pan.
Notes
Do not add the water called for on the box of cake mix. You'll use the peaches and the juice in the can instead.
No need to chop the peaches. The mixer will break them up perfectly!
Run a knife through the batter in the pan to remove air bubbles.
Do not grease the pan with cooking spray or use a nonstick pan. Angel food cake needs to grip onto the pan to rise tall.
Be gentle when cutting the cake out of the pan, it's very soft.
