I have read that some people use a can of pop on top of a yellow cake mix, some use butter instead of pop, some use both.

Curious as to which one is better or any difference between the two.

Nothing but the ingredients stated. Maybe some butter on top, if you want. The coals on top of the dutch oven will brown the top of the "cobbler".

Try the recipe at home first. If you want more moisture, less of the "cake", add a half-pint can of peaches to the mix. This can also be done with apples, except that canned apples don't have enough moisture, and we generally used two cans, and some extra water or apple juice. The cake batter should be thoroughly wet, but not runny when mixed.

We always found cheap peaches had more syrup than name-brand, and seemed to provide about the right ratio to give good moisture, while still leaving the batter great rise.
