Step-By-Step Instructions
Gather your ingredients.
Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and pour one and a half cans into the bottom of the dish.
Next, sprinkle the cake mix on top of the peaches.
Slice the butter into thin slices and place it on top of the cake mix.
The melted butter will fill in all the dry cake spots and create a delicious crust.
Bake the cake uncovered in a preheated oven for about 55 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Allow the cake to sit for about 10 minutes for the syrup to thicken.
A big scoop of vanilla ice cream is the perfect way to top off this sweet dessert treat.
This simple recipe can also be recreated with different canned fruit filling.
Add Some Variety
- Spices:
- Cinnamon and Nutmeg: These can be sprinkled on top of the peaches before adding the cake mix, giving the dessert warm and spicy flavors.
- Allspice or Cardamom: For a more unique flavor.
- Nuts:
- Chopped Walnuts or Pecans: Add these on top for a crunchy and nutty flavor.
- Fruits and Berries:
- Canned Fruit: Add some canned cherry pie filling or some pineapple pie filling to the cake.
- Pineapple: Adding some sliced pineapple to the top for a tropical twist is a great way to add some variety.
- Sweeteners and Syrups:
- Brown Sugar: Sprinkling a bit of this over the peaches can add a deeper sweetness.
- Maple Syrup: Drizzle on top for a rich maple flavor.
- Flavorings:
- Vanilla or Almond Extract: A few drops can enhance the overall aroma and taste.
- Toppings:
- Shredded Coconut: Add this on top before baking for a tropical feel and added texture.
- Oats: Mix with a little butter and sprinkle on top for a crumbly topping, almost like a peach crisp.
- Other Cake Mixes: Yellow, white cake mix, butter pecan, spice cake, cinnamon swirl, or even chocolate cake. Just about any box of cake mix will do.
- Caramel: Drizzle some caramel on top for a caramel apple dump cake.
Maybe I need to make those next. I’m already plotting my next dump cake venture!
