Peach Dump Cake

Peachy keen, indeed! This sweet treat is a masterclass in simplicity, combining the comfort of canned peaches with the ease of a boxed cake mix.

The result is a show-stopping dessert that’s equal parts nostalgic and impressive, perfect for potlucks, family gatherings, or just a sweet Tuesday night.

Ingredients

• 1 can of peaches in heavy syrup (28 oz)
• 1 box of yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
• 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 cup of chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Open the can of peaches and pour the entire contents into a 9×13 inch baking dish, making sure to spread the peaches out evenly.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Mix until smooth and creamy. Add the yellow cake mix to the mixing bowl and mix until the cake mix is fully incorporated and you have a smooth batter.

Pour the cake mix batter evenly over the peaches in the baking dish.

If using pecans, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the cake mix. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to use the entire can of peaches, including the heavy syrup, for the best flavor and moisture.

Take the butter out of the fridge about 30 minutes before mixing to ensure it’s soft and creamy.

You can customize the cake by using other spices instead of cinnamon and nutmeg, such as cardamom or ginger.

Chopped pecans add a nice crunch, but walnuts or hazelnuts work great too.

If you want a crisper top, bake the cake for 40 minutes, then broil for an extra 2-3 minutes.

Let the cake cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving, as it will set and become easier to slice.

This cake is perfect for potlucks or large gatherings, as it serves 10 people and can be easily transported.
