Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour sliced peaches in juice into an ungreased cake pan.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches.
- Pour the melted butter over the cake mix layer.
- Bake at 400°F until the cake does not jiggle when moved, about 30 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg over the peaches before adding the cake mix. You can substitute the butter brickle cake mix with a vanilla or yellow cake mix if needed. If you want a fruitier version, consider using frozen peaches instead of canned ones, just thaw them first to avoid excess moisture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Peach Dump Cake warm, topped with a generous dollop of Cool Whip for added creaminess. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a side of fresh fruit. For a delightful twist, try serving it alongside a slice of Old Time Fudge for a scrumptious dessert spread.
