Description
Indulge in a warm and comforting peach dessert that practically makes itself using simple pantry staples. This effortless dump cake combines juicy fruit with a buttery, golden-brown crust for a treat that tastes like a gourmet cobbler without the hard work.
Ingredients
- 2 (15-ounce) cans peaches in heavy syrup (undrained)
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup salted butter, chilled and sliced
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pour the canned peaches along with their syrup into a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread them into an even layer.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches, pressing down slightly to ensure it makes contact with the fruit juices.
- Place thin slices of cold butter across the entire surface of the cake mix, then sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the top.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping has turned a deep golden brown.
Notes
To ensure a perfectly even crust, try grating the cold butter over the cake mix instead of slicing it to provide better coverage. If you notice any dry flour patches halfway through baking, simply place a small sliver of butter on that spot to help it melt into the topping. For the best experience, let the cake sit for five minutes after removing it from the oven to allow the syrup to thicken slightly before serving with a scoop of ice cream.
