Making the Peach Dump Cake
Ingredients:
Peaches (canned or fresh)
Yellow Cake Mix
Butter
Cool Whip or Ice Cream, optional
Instructions:
- Place peaches in pan.
- Add dry cake mix.
- Add melted butter.
- Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes.
Versatility and Customization
One of the great things about this recipe is its versatility. While the basic version calls for peaches, you can easily switch things up with different fruits. Try using canned cherries, pineapples, or a combination of your favorite fruits. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra layer of flavor.
Tips for the Best Dump Cake
- Drain the Peaches: Make sure to drain the canned peaches well to prevent the cake from becoming too soggy. Feel free to substitute 4 cups of fresh chopped peaches for canned peaches.
- Even Layering: Spread the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches for a consistent texture.
- Butter Distribution: Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix to ensure every bite is deliciously buttery and golden.
Storage and Reheating
If you have any leftovers (which is rare because they are so delicious!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm a portion in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until heated. The cake will retain its delicious flavor and texture, making it a perfect treat for the next day.
