Homemade Peach Dump Cake
This Homemade Peach Dump Cake with Just 3 Ingredients is the kind of dessert I love making when I want something cozy, easy, and crowd-pleasing. Sweet peaches and a buttery cake topping bake together into a golden, bubbling treat that feels like pure comfort.
Equipment
- 1 9x13 inch baking dish lightly greased
Ingredients
- 2 cans sliced peaches in juice or light syrup, do not drain
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish so the cake releases easily after baking.
- Pour the peaches, along with their juice, into the baking dish. Spread them out in an even layer so the filling bakes evenly.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches. Try to cover the fruit as much as possible without stirring.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake mix, aiming for as much surface area as you can. This helps the topping turn golden and crisp.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is deeply golden and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
If you want a little extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg over the peaches before baking. For a brighter finish, a little lemon zest works nicely too. If your peaches are packed in very heavy syrup, you can use fruit canned in juice for a lighter sweetness. You can also use white cake mix if that is what you have on hand.
