Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Layer
- 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 and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Add peaches and cinnamon: Dump both cans of sliced peaches along with their syrup into the prepared dish. Spread them evenly across the bottom, then sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the peaches for a warm, spicy note.
- Top with cake mix: Evenly distribute the dry French vanilla cake mix over the peaches, pressing it down gently to form a uniform layer.
- Add butter pieces: Slice the butter into thin pieces and scatter them evenly across the top of the cake mix. This will help create a rich, golden crust as it bakes.
- Bake the cake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach mixture is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and serve: Allow the dump cake to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- Do not drain the peaches; the syrup adds moisture and helps create a delicious sauce.
- Pressing the cake mix gently helps it form a better crust without mixing into the peaches.
- For a crunchier top, you can sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts before baking.
- This dessert can be prepared ahead and heated before serving.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days.
