Dump cakes are perfect for anyone who loves delicious desserts but isn’t an expert baker. This Peach Cobbler Dump Cake is incredibly easy to make and tastes amazing. Whether you’re looking for a simple dessert for a family dinner or a sweet treat for a gathering, this recipe is sure to be a hit. Let’s dive into how to make this mouthwatering peach cobbler dump cake.
Ingredients:
- 3 cans of sliced peaches in heavy syrup (each 15 oz)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- Additional cinnamon for sprinkling
- Additional brown sugar for sprinkling
- 1 cup of unsalted butter, cut into thin pats
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Peaches:
- Grab your baking dish (a 9×13-inch dish works well).
- Open the three cans of sliced peaches. Pour one can with the syrup into the baking dish. Drain the syrup from the other two cans and add just the peaches to the dish.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar to the peaches.
- Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should have a thick, syrupy consistency.
- Add the Cake Mix:
- Sprinkle the entire box of yellow cake mix evenly over the peach mixture. Make sure the cake mix covers the peaches completely, but avoid stirring it in.
- Add Cinnamon and Brown Sugar:
- Sprinkle some additional cinnamon and brown sugar over the top of the cake mix for extra flavor.
- Add the Butter:
- Cut the unsalted butter into thin pats and distribute them evenly over the top of the cake mix. The butter will melt and help create a golden, crispy crust.
- Bake the Cake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly around the edges.
- Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. This cobbler is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Tips:
- Even Distribution: When sprinkling the cake mix over the peaches, try to distribute it as evenly as possible to ensure that it bakes uniformly.
- Butter Placement: The butter should be evenly spaced over the top of the cake mix. This ensures that it melts evenly and helps create a golden, crispy crust.
- Serving Suggestions: This peach cobbler dump cake is best served warm. The contrast of the warm, gooey cobbler with the cold ice cream or whipped cream is simply divine.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or enjoy cold.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
- Yes, you can use fresh peaches. You’ll need about 6-8 medium peaches. Peel and slice them, then cook them briefly with some sugar to create a syrupy consistency.
2. What if I don’t have yellow cake mix?
- You can use white cake mix or even spice cake mix for a slightly different flavor. Both work well with peaches.
3. Can I add other fruits to this recipe?
- Absolutely! You can mix in other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries for a mixed fruit cobbler.
4. Can I make this dessert ahead of time?
- Yes, you can prepare the cobbler and bake it. It’s best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but you can reheat it if you make it ahead of time.
5. What if I don’t have a 9×13-inch baking dish?
- You can use any similar-sized baking dish. Just make sure the mixture is spread out evenly so it bakes properly.
