- 1 can (29 oz) sliced peaches in syrup - 1 box yellow cake mix - 1 cup unsalted butter, melted - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1 cup brown sugar - 1 cup rolled oats - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - Pinch of salt To get the best flavor, use ripe peaches in syrup. The syrup helps keep the cake moist. I prefer unsalted butter for a rich taste. Choose a quality yellow cake mix for a fluffy texture. Fresh ground cinnamon gives a warm flavor. Rolled oats add a nice crunch, so don't skip them. You can add nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch. Try adding a splash of almond extract for a unique twist. Fresh berries can also be mixed in for a fruity kick. If you love spice, consider adding nutmeg or ginger. These options let you make this cake your own! Preparation steps including preheating and mixing First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This helps the cake cook evenly. Next, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the can of sliced peaches, syrup and all, into the dish. Spread them out evenly across the bottom. In a bowl, mix the yellow cake mix, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, rolled oats, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until everything is combined. Layering technique for the dump cake Now, it’s time for layering. Sprinkle the dry mixture over the peaches in the dish. Make sure to cover the peaches completely. This creates a nice base for the cake. Next, drizzle the melted butter across the top of the cake mix. Ensure that every bit is moistened. Finally, add a splash of vanilla extract to boost the flavor. Baking instructions and temperature management Place the dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Keep an eye on it. The top should turn golden brown and bubbly. When it’s done, take it out and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes. This helps the flavors settle. For the full recipe, check the section above. One common mistake is not using enough syrup. The syrup from the peaches adds moisture. If you skip this, the cake may turn out dry. Another mistake is overmixing the dry ingredients. Stir gently to keep the texture light. Also, avoid using cold butter. Melted butter is key for the right consistency. Lastly, don’t skip the cooling step. Letting it cool helps the flavors blend. Serve the dump cake warm for the best taste. A scoop of vanilla ice cream works wonders. The creaminess of the ice cream balances the sweetness. You can also try whipped cream or yogurt for a twist. A sprinkle of cinnamon or nuts on top adds crunch and flavor. For extra fun, serve it with caramel sauce or fresh peach slices. To get a great texture, ensure even layering. Spread the cake mix evenly over the peaches. Drizzle the melted butter carefully to cover all areas. This helps the top crisp up nicely. For flavor, add more spices like nutmeg or allspice. Adjust the sugar to your taste for sweetness. Use high-quality vanilla extract for a richer taste. {{image_2}} You can switch up fruits and cake mixes to make this dish your own. Try using berries, like blueberries or raspberries. They bring a fresh taste that pairs well with the cake. If you want something a bit different, go for apples or cherries. Each fruit gives a unique twist to the peach cobbler dump cake. For cake mixes, you don’t have to stick to yellow. A spice cake mix adds warmth and flavor. A chocolate cake mix? That makes for a fun surprise. Each mix changes the taste and texture, so feel free to experiment! Now, let’s talk about dietary needs. If you need a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free cake mix. They work just as well and keep the taste yummy. For a vegan version, replace the butter with coconut oil or vegan butter. Instead of using the eggs, you can use applesauce or a flaxseed meal. These swaps keep the cake moist and tasty. Seasonal fruits can keep this recipe fresh all year long. In fall, try apples or pears with a sprinkle of nutmeg. In winter, cranberries bring a tart flavor that contrasts nicely with the sweetness. In spring and summer, use fresh berries or stone fruits like plums. This way, every season can have its own twist on the peach cobbler dump cake. For the full recipe, you can check the earlier section. Enjoy making this delightful dish!

When it’s time to enjoy leftovers, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cake in an oven-safe dish. Cover it with foil to prevent it from getting too dry. Heat for about 15-20 minutes or until it’s warm throughout. You can also microwave individual servings for about 30 seconds, but this may change the texture slightly.

Simply slice about four to five ripe peaches. Make sure to peel them first. Fresh peaches add a bright flavor and a nice texture. If you choose fresh, you may need to add a bit more sugar. This helps to balance their tartness. You can also cook the sliced peaches with some sugar on the stove for a few minutes. This creates a juicy base for your dump cake. You can tell it’s done when the top is golden brown and bubbly. Check the edges; they should pull away from the dish slightly. Use a toothpick to poke the center. If it comes out clean, it’s ready.
