  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans optional

  10. Add the Butter
  11. Arrange thin slices of butter evenly across the surface of the dry cake mix.
  12. Make sure most areas are covered for even browning.
  13. Bake
  14. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  15. Serve
  16. Let cool for 10 minutes, then serve warm.
  17. Optional: top with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel drizzle.

Notes

For a crispier top, use cold butter slices instead of melted butter.
Replace yellow cake mix with spice cake mix for a fall-inspired variation.
Add berries (raspberries, blueberries) for a fruit-filled twist.
If using peaches in heavy syrup, reduce added sugar elsewhere in the meal—they add extra sweetness.
Great served warm or chilled; leftovers store well for 3–4 days in the refrigerator.
This is the easiest peach dump cake with canned peaches you’ll ever make—perfect for beginners.
