Ingredients You’ll Need
The secret to this dump cake lies in its simple yet indulgent ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

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)

Step-by-Step Instructions
Ready to whip up this sweet, gooey delight? Follow these easy steps:

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.
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.
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.
4. Bake the Cake
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
   • Remove from the oven and let the cake cool slightly before serving.
5. Serve and Enjoy
   • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
   • Pair with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a truly satisfying experience. ☕🍑✨
