Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 58 ounces sliced peaches in syrup (2 x 29-ounce cans)
Spices
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
Cake Mix & Butter
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- ¾ cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Add Peaches: Dump one can of peaches (including syrup) into the baking dish. Drain the liquid from the second can and add the peaches only to the dish for a balanced moisture level.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon: Evenly sprinkle ¾ teaspoon cinnamon over the peaches to add warmth and spice to the flavor.
- Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry vanilla cake mix evenly over the peaches, covering them completely without mixing.
- Pour Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. This will create a crispy, golden topping as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling around the edges. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Do not stir the cake mix and peaches after layering; this helps form the signature ‘dump cake’ texture.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
- You can substitute fresh peaches or frozen thawed peaches if preferred, adjusting moisture accordingly.
- For a lower sugar option, use canned peaches in natural juice instead of syrup.
