Description

This effortless peach dump cake combines the jammy sweetness of canned fruit with a buttery, golden-brown crust. It is a rustic, comforting dessert that relies on simple pantry staples to create a warm, bubbling treat perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • 2 (29-ounce) cans peaches in heavy syrup
  • 1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, cold
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Empty the cans of peaches, including the syrup, into a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread them into an even layer.
  3. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches and press it down firmly with a spatula to help the juices soak in.
  4. Cut the cold butter into small squares or grate it over the cake mix, ensuring even coverage, then finish with a dusting of cinnamon.
  5. Bake for approximately 45 minutes until the fruit is bubbling vigorously and the topping has turned a deep golden brown.

Notes

To ensure a perfectly even crust without dry spots, try grating your cold butter using a box grater directly over the cake mix layer. For a more balanced flavor, using salted butter helps cut through the sweetness of the heavy syrup while enhancing the warm notes of the cinnamon.
