Description
This Peach Dump Cake is an incredibly easy and delicious dessert made by layering canned peaches with yellow cake mix and butter, then baking until golden and bubbly. Perfectly sweet and comforting, it’s best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic treat that requires minimal effort and time.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 (16 ounce) cans peaches in heavy syrup
- 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- ½ cup butter
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to ensure the oven is ready for baking.
- Layer peaches: Empty both cans of peaches in heavy syrup into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly across the bottom.
- Add cake mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches, then press down firmly to create an even layer.
- Top with butter and cinnamon: Cut or grate the cold butter into small pieces and scatter them evenly over the cake mix layer. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon on top according to your taste preference.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the peaches are hot and bubbly and the top is golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the cake from the oven, let it cool slightly, then serve warm. For an extra indulgent touch, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Notes
- You can substitute frozen peaches if canned are not available, but be sure to thaw and drain excess liquid.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon based on your preference; some like a little extra spice.
- For a lower fat option, use light butter or a butter substitute, but this may slightly affect texture.
- The recipe can easily be doubled or halved depending on the size of your baking dish.
