To make your peach cobbler dump cake, you'll need some simple ingredients. Here’s what you should gather: - 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup, drained (or 4 cups fresh peaches, sliced) - 1 cup brown sugar - 1 teaspoon cinnamon - 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix - 1 cup unsalted butter, melted - 1 cup chopped pecans (optional) - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - Optional toppings: Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream Each ingredient plays a key role. The peaches bring sweetness and moisture. Brown sugar adds depth, while cinnamon gives warmth. The cake mix forms a lovely crust. Melted butter binds it all together. Pecans add a nice crunch, but they are optional. Vanilla extract boosts the flavor. Lastly, whipped cream or ice cream makes it extra special when serving. For a complete guide, check the Full Recipe. First, set your oven to 350°F (175°C). This heat will help the cake cook evenly. A hot oven is key for a great dump cake. In a bowl, mix the drained peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir gently. You want to coat the peaches well. The sugar will give a nice sweet taste. Once mixed, spread this peach mixture in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. This makes the base of your cobbler. Next, sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the peach layer. Don't stir it in; just spread it out. Then, drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. If you like nuts, sprinkle the chopped pecans on top. They add crunch and flavor. Now, place the dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Look for a golden brown top and bubbly edges. When done, let it cool a bit before serving. Enjoy warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a treat. For the full recipe, check the earlier section. Use fresh peaches when in season for the best flavor. If fresh ones are not available, canned peaches work well. Choose peaches in syrup for added sweetness. Always drain the canned peaches to avoid excess liquid. If using fresh peaches, slice them thinly for even cooking. To get a great texture, follow the steps carefully. Avoid stirring the cake mix into the peach layer. Just sprinkle it on top and pour melted butter over it. This keeps the cake mix crisp and fluffy. Bake until the top is golden brown. Let it cool slightly before serving for the best texture. Serve your peach cobbler warm for the best taste. Top it with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This adds richness and balances the sweetness. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh peach slices or mint leaves. This makes the dish look beautiful and inviting. For the complete recipe, check the Full Recipe section. {{image_2}} You can switch up the fruit in this recipe. Instead of peaches, try using blueberries, cherries, or apples. Each fruit brings a unique flavor. For cherries, use two cans of sliced cherries in syrup. For apples, slice four cups of fresh apples. Using different fruits keeps your dessert fresh and exciting. To make this dish gluten-free, use a gluten-free cake mix. Many brands offer tasty options. For a dairy-free version, replace the unsalted butter with melted coconut oil or a dairy-free butter substitute. Your cobbler will still taste amazing and satisfy any dietary needs. Spices can elevate the taste of your dump cake. Add a pinch of nutmeg for warmth or a dash of cardamom for a unique twist. Vanilla extract already adds flavor, but you can also try almond extract for a nice touch. Experimenting with spices can make your peach cobbler dump cake stand out. To store leftovers of your peach cobbler dump cake, let it cool first. Place it in an airtight container. You can keep it in the fridge for up to four days. If you use a dish with a tight lid, it helps keep the cake moist. When you're ready to enjoy the leftovers, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cake in an oven-safe dish. Cover it with foil to avoid drying out. Heat for about 15-20 minutes. You can also use the microwave for quick reheating. Just heat for 30 seconds at a time until warm. You can freeze peach cobbler dump cake for up to three months. Allow it to cool completely, then cut it into portions. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag. Make sure to remove as much air as possible. When you're ready to eat, thaw it in the fridge overnight and reheat as needed. Enjoy this lovely dessert later with ease! Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Just slice about four cups of ripe peaches. Fresh peaches add a bright flavor. They also give a nice texture. If you use fresh fruit, peel them first for the best result. The syrup in canned peaches adds sweetness, so adjust the sugar. Use a little less brown sugar if the peaches are very sweet. If you don’t have yellow cake mix, don’t worry! You can make your own mix. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Here’s a simple mix: - 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour - 1 cup sugar - 2 teaspoons baking powder - ½ teaspoon salt Mix these ingredients well. Then, follow the same steps as in the recipe. You can also use white or chocolate cake mix for a twist. No, adding nuts is not necessary. Chopped pecans add crunch and flavor. But if you prefer a nut-free dessert, just skip them. The cobbler will still taste great without them. You can even try adding oats for texture instead of nuts. This blog post covered how to make a delicious peach cobbler.
