In a large bowl, mix the drained peaches, sugar, and cinnamon. 4. Gently stir until the peaches are coated with the sugar mixture. 5. Pour the peach mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. 6. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the peaches. Do not stir it. 7. Carefully drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, covering it all. 8. If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans on top for extra crunch. 1. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. 2. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Look for a golden brown and bubbly top. 3. The butter will soak into the cake mix, creating a nice crust. 1. Remove the cake from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes. 2. Serve it warm for the best taste. 3. A scoop of vanilla ice cream on top makes it even better! 4. For a fun touch, add a slice of fresh peach or a mint leaf when serving. To make the best Peach Cobbler Dump Cake, follow a few simple steps. First, use ripe peaches for a sweeter taste. If you use canned peaches, drain them well to avoid extra liquid. Mix the peaches with sugar and cinnamon for great flavor. After that, layer the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches. This helps create a nice crust when baked. Pour melted butter over the cake mix without stirring. This step keeps the topping crispy and golden. One common mistake is mixing the cake batter too much. You want to keep it dry and fluffy. Another mistake is not preheating the oven. Baking at the right temperature makes a big difference. Don't skip the cooling time after baking. Letting it sit helps the flavors blend well. Lastly, be careful not to overbake. A golden top is what you want, not a burnt one. To boost flavor, add vanilla extract to the peach mix. You can also sprinkle in some nutmeg for warmth. For a crunchier texture, toss in chopped pecans or walnuts on top. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a creamy contrast. If you want a twist, try adding a bit of lemon juice to the peaches. This brightens the overall taste. Remember, little changes can lead to big flavor! Pro Tips Use Fresh Peaches: If you have access to fresh peaches, slice them up for an even more flavorful and juicy cake. Butter Coverage: Ensure the melted butter covers the cake mix evenly to achieve a perfectly crispy top. Serve Warm: This cake is best enjoyed warm, so consider serving it straight from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Customize Your Nuts: Feel free to substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds for a different nutty flavor. {{image_4}} You can switch up the fruit in this dump cake. Berries, cherries, or apples work great. Just replace the peaches. For berries, use mixed berries or just blueberries. With apples, slice them thin and mix with sugar and cinnamon. This keeps the same sweet taste and warm feel. Not a fan of yellow cake mix? Try white or chocolate cake mix instead. Each flavor brings a new twist to the cake. White cake mix keeps the flavor light. Chocolate cake adds richness. Both still pair well with the fruit. Want a gluten-free version? Use a gluten-free cake mix. Many brands offer great taste without gluten. For a vegan option, swap the butter for coconut oil or vegan butter. Use a plant-based cake mix too. This way, everyone can enjoy your tasty dessert! To store your leftover Peach Cobbler Dump Cake, let it cool first. Then, place it in an airtight container. You can keep it in the fridge for about 3 to 5 days. Make sure to seal it well to keep it fresh. If you want to enjoy it later, consider freezing it. If you want to freeze your cake, slice it into portions first. Wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap. Then, put the wrapped slices into a freezer bag or container. This way, you can grab just what you need. It will stay good in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just remember to label the bag with the date. To reheat, take a slice out of the fridge or freezer. If it’s frozen, let it thaw in the fridge overnight. For a quick reheat, use the microwave. Heat it for 20-30 seconds, checking to avoid overheating. If you prefer the oven, preheat it to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 10-15 minutes. Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a treat! Yes, you can use fresh peaches. Slice about 6-8 ripe peaches. Peel them if you like. They will add a fresh flavor to your dump cake. Just remember to add a bit of sugar. Fresh peaches can be less sweet, so taste as you go. You can adjust the sugar in the recipe. If you like it less sweet, reduce the sugar by half a cup. If you want more sweetness, add more sugar to taste. You can also use brown sugar for a richer flavor. I love serving this cake with vanilla ice cream. The cold ice cream melts into the warm cake. You can also add whipped cream or fresh fruit. A sprinkle of cinnamon on top adds a nice touch too. Peach Cobbler Dump Cake lasts about 3-4 days in the fridge.
