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.
- Add Peaches and Cinnamon: Dump both cans of peaches, including the syrup, into the baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the peaches to add warmth and flavor.
- Apply Cake Mix: Evenly distribute the dry French vanilla cake mix over the peaches, pressing down gently to create an even layer.
- Add Butter: Slice the cold butter into thin pieces and scatter them evenly across the top of the cake mix to help it bake into a crispy, golden crust.
- Bake: 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: Let the dump cake cool for about 10 minutes before serving. For an extra special dessert, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Notes
- Use canned peaches with syrup for the best moist and sweet filling.
- You can substitute the French vanilla cake mix for yellow or white cake mix if preferred.
- Ensure butter is cold and sliced thinly to promote even melting and browning.
- This recipe can be doubled in a larger baking dish but adjust baking time accordingly.
- Allowing the cake to cool slightly helps it set for easier serving.
- Add a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream to elevate the dessert.
