Best Peach Dump Cake

INGREDIENTS:

For the Cake:

1 large can (29 oz) sliced peaches in heavy syrup (or 4–5 cups fresh or frozen peaches)

1 box yellow or white cake mix (your favorite brand)

1/2 cup unsalted butter (sliced into thin pats)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for added warmth)

Optional Add-Ins:

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (for crunch)

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (for extra spice)

1/2 cup brown sugar (for extra sweetness)

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) . Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or spray it with nonstick cooking spray for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Layer the Peaches

Drain the canned peaches (if using) and spread them evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. If using fresh or frozen peaches, toss them with 1–2 tablespoons of sugar before adding them to the dish.

Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches, ensuring the entire surface is covered.

Step 3: Add Butter and Toppings

Place the thin slices of butter evenly over the cake mix. The butter will melt during baking and create a golden, crumbly topping.

Sprinkle cinnamon (and optional nuts or brown sugar) over the top for added flavor and texture …
