Description
This Peach Dump Cake is an easy, comforting dessert made with canned peaches in heavy syrup, topped with a yellow cake mix and buttery cinnamon crust. Perfectly baked until golden brown and bubbling, it’s best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat any time.
Ingredients
Peaches
- 2 (16 ounce) cans peaches in heavy syrup
Cake Topping
- 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- ½ cup butter
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to get it ready for baking.
- Place Peaches: Empty the canned peaches along with the heavy syrup into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading them evenly.
- Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches, pressing down firmly to cover the fruit completely.
- Add Butter and Cinnamon: Cut or grate the butter into small pieces and scatter them evenly over the cake mix. Then sprinkle the ground cinnamon on top to add warmth and flavor.
- Bake the Cake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, until the peaches are hot and bubbling and the top is golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. For an extra indulgent treat, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top before enjoying.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh peaches if canned are not available but increase bake time slightly.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity based on preference or omit it for a milder flavor.
- Use salted or unsalted butter but adjust salt in the recipe accordingly.
- This recipe is easily halved or doubled depending on your gathering size.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative.
