Description

This Easy Peach Dump Cake is a simple and delicious dessert featuring canned peaches topped with a buttery cake mix and warm spices. With minimal prep and just one baking dish, it’s perfect for a quick weeknight treat or gathering. The combination of sweet peaches, cinnamon, and nutmeg layered under a golden, crisp cake topping creates a comforting and crowd-pleasing dessert that serves 10.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Layer

  • 2 cans (15-ounce each) sliced peaches in syrup, drained slightly
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

Cake Layer

  • 1 box yellow cake mix

Topping

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer Peaches: Pour the drained peaches, including a small amount of syrup for moisture, evenly into the prepared baking dish. Stir in the vanilla extract and sprinkle the cinnamon and, if using, nutmeg over the peaches to infuse warm flavors.
  3. Add Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the peaches, being careful to cover the fruit completely without mixing the layers together. This layering maintains the cake’s signature texture.
  4. Drizzle Butter: Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix layer, which helps create a crisp, golden crust while baking.
  5. Optional Toppings: If desired, sprinkle the brown sugar and chopped pecans evenly over the top to add extra sweetness and crunch.
  6. Bake the Cake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The dump cake is ready when the top is a beautiful golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool slightly before serving. For the best experience, serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For fresher flavor, substitute fresh or frozen peaches with added sugar and juice instead of canned peaches.
  • Do not stir the layers after assembling to maintain the classic dump cake texture.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to enhance the dessert’s richness and flavor.
