How to make Peach Dump Cake
Instructions
Before preparing your cake, spray your baking dish lightly with Pam, a non-stick coating.
3. Top the peaches with the entire box of cake mix, spreading the mix evenly over the peaches.
4. Drizzle half the butter over the top of the cake mix. Combine the other half of the melted butter with the rolled oats and brown sugar in a small bowl.
Mix until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
5. Sprinkle the oat mixture over the top of the cake mix. 6. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake it for 50 to 55 minutes. The cake is done, the syrup is bubbly, and the oat topping is brown and crisp.
7. Allow cooling slightly before serving. 8. Top with ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel drizzle (optional).
Tips and Notes:
This recipe is made with a buttery oat and brown sugar topping for a crisp finish.
Variation 1: No oat topping
Omit the oats and brown sugar. Increase the butter and use sliced butter over the top instead for a classic dump cake texture.
Variation 2: Fresh peaches
If using fresh peaches, prepare a quick syrup or lightly macerate them before baking for the best results.
Do you have to refrigerate peach dump cake?
Note, if you eat it the same day or the next day, just cover and keep it stored in a cool place.
To keep it longer, cover it loosely and store it in the fridge; it can last up to 4-5 days. (source)
