Description
Peach Dump Cake is a delightful treat that’s perfect for weekends! Super easy to make, the sweet peaches and cake mix blend just right. I love serving this with family for a cozy dessert!
Ingredients
2 x 29 ounce cans sliced peaches in heavy syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 box vanilla cake mix
1 cup butter melted
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 9×13 pan with a light coating of cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Drain both cans of peaches and reserve half a cup of the heavy syrup.
3. Spread the peaches evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan and drizzle the reserved half cup heavy syrup over the top.
4. Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the peaches.
5. Use a small measuring cup to distribute the cake mix over the peaches in an even layer.
6. Pour the melted butter over the cake mix.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Even Cake Mix Distribution: For the best texture, evenly distribute the cake mix over the peaches without stirring. Any dry spots will absorb moisture during baking, creating a crisp topping.
Butter Coverage Trick: To ensure even butter distribution, drizzle it slowly over the cake mix or use thinly sliced butter pats across the top instead of melted butter. This helps create a uniform golden crust.
Enhance Flavor: Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the peaches for extra depth of flavor. Chopped pecans or walnuts can also be sprinkled on top for a crunchy texture.
Serving Suggestions: This dessert pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For extra indulgence, drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
