Ingredients
Scale
Peach Layer
- 1 can (15 oz) sliced peaches in syrup, drained
Cake Layer
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Butter
- 1/2 cup butter, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Layer Peaches: Evenly spread the drained sliced peaches with syrup at the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the juicy fruit base.
- Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches ensuring full coverage for consistent baking.
- Top with Butter: Place the sliced butter pieces evenly over the dry cake mix to melt during baking and create a crispy, golden crust.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon: Lightly sprinkle cinnamon on top of the butter and cake mix to add warmth and spice flavor.
- Bake: Bake the dump cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is bubbly around the edges.
Notes
- For a fresher taste, substitute canned peaches with fresh or frozen peaches if available; adjust draining accordingly.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
- You can add nuts like chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking for added texture.
- Make sure the butter is sliced thinly for even melting and crisping of the cake top.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
