Simple Peach Dump Cake Recipe

Simple Peach Dump Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

  • Non-stick cooking spray or butter for greasing
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) of peaches in heavy syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (optional)
  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted or cut into slices

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Spray a small to medium-sized baking dish (about 9×13 inches) with non-stick cooking spray or grease it with butter. This will help prevent the cake from sticking to the dish.
  3. Add the Peaches: Open the cans of peaches and pour them into the prepared baking dish, including the syrup. Spread the peaches evenly across the bottom of the dish.
  4. Enhance the Flavor (Optional):
    • Cinnamon: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon over the peaches.
    • Vanilla Extract: Drizzle 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract over the peaches.
    • Brown Sugar: Sprinkle 1/2 cup of brown sugar evenly over the peaches. These additions are optional but will enhance the flavor of your dump cake.
  5. Add the Cake Mix: Open the box of yellow cake mix and evenly distribute the dry mix over the peaches. Do not stir.
  6. Add the Butter:
    • Using Melted Butter: If you prefer to use melted butter, pour 1/2 cup of melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix.
    • Using Sliced Butter: If you prefer, you can cut 1/2 cup of butter into thin slices and evenly distribute them over the dry cake mix. Ensure the butter covers as much of the surface as possible for a nice golden crust.
  7. Bake the Cake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cake is set. A toothpick inserted into the cake should come out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the dump cake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Variations:

This recipe can also be made with other canned fruits in syrup. Try using:

  • Apples
  • Cherries
  • Pineapple
  • Mixed berries

Each variation will bring a different flavor profile to the cake. Enjoy experimenting with your favorite fruits!
