Description
Peach Dump Cake is an incredibly easy, no-fuss dessert that delivers all the deliciousness of a homemade peach cobbler with just a few ingredients. With its sweet, buttery topping and juicy peach filling, it’s perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 ounces) of sliced peaches in syrup (or fresh peaches, about 4 cups, peeled and sliced)
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Pour the canned peaches (with syrup) into the prepared baking dish. If using fresh peaches, make sure they are well-sweetened with a little sugar or honey. Spread the peaches evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches, ensuring the mix covers the entire surface.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, covering as much of it as possible. Don’t stir; the butter will soak into the cake mix as it bakes.
- If desired, sprinkle cinnamon and vanilla extract on top for extra flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let the dump cake cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- You can use other canned fruits like pineapple, apple, or cherry if you prefer.
- For a more decadent treat, add a handful of chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) over the cake mix before baking.
- This cake can also be made with a sugar-free cake mix and canned peaches in syrup for a lighter version.
- Serve with whipped cream or ice cream for extra indulgence.
