Description
A simple and delicious peach dump cake made with canned peaches, yellow cake mix, brown sugar, and pecans. Perfect for beginners and busy bakers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cans peaches in heavy syrup (15 oz each)
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, very thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Drain two of the three cans of peaches, keeping the syrup from one can. Pour all peaches into a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle cinnamon over the peaches.
- Evenly distribute the dry yellow cake mix over the peaches. Do not stir. Use the back of a fork to gently press it down.
- Sprinkle brown sugar over the cake mix layer.
- Top with thin slices of butter, placing them evenly across the surface.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans on top.
- Bake for 1 hour or until the top is golden brown and bubbling at the edges. Tent with foil if pecans brown too quickly.
Notes
- Only retain syrup from one can to avoid soggy results.
- Use fresh peaches by peeling and slicing 6–8 ripe ones, then macerating with sugar.
- Butter can be grated instead of sliced for more even coverage.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
