Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 (29-ounce) can sliced peaches in heavy syrup, undrained
- 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 ounces)
- ¾ cup butter, sliced into 24 cuts
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cake evenly.
- Prepare Peaches: Spread the canned sliced peaches along with their liquid evenly into a 9×13-inch baking dish. The liquid helps to keep the cake moist while baking.
- Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches to cover them completely, but do not stir.
- Top with Butter: Distribute the sliced butter pieces evenly over the surface of the cake mix. As the butter melts, it combines with the cake mix to form a rich and golden crust.
- Bake: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The dump cake should turn golden brown on top and be bubbly around the edges when done.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let the cake cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature for a comforting and easy dessert.
Notes
- Do not stir the layers; the butter melting over the cake mix creates a crisp, crumbly top.
- You can substitute fresh peaches with canned peaches for convenience.
- Try adding cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice twist.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
