Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Base
- 2 cans (14.5 oz each) canned sliced peaches (do not drain)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cake Topping
- 1 box (15.25 oz) French vanilla cake mix
- ½ cup butter, sliced into thin pieces
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Peaches: Dump both cans of peaches, including the syrup, into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the peaches to add warm spice flavor.
- Add Cake Mix: Evenly distribute the dry French vanilla cake mix over the peach layer, pressing it down gently to create an even topping.
- Top with Butter: Slice the butter into thin pieces and scatter them evenly over the cake mix. The butter will melt during baking and create a crispy, golden crust.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the cake topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the dump cake to cool for 10 minutes before serving. For an extra special touch, enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Notes
- Use canned peaches with syrup for best moisture and sweetness; do not drain them.
- Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger with the cinnamon for extra spice.
- Butter can be substituted with margarine to reduce saturated fat.
- Serve warm for comforting flavors, and store leftovers in the refrigerator covered for up to 3 days.
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free cake mix.
