Easy 4-Ingredient Peach Pie Filling Dump Cake
Description
The cake is made by placing two cans of peach pie filling in a baking dish, then sprinkling a boxed dry cake mix evenly over the top. Melted butter is poured over the dry mix to moisten it during baking. Pecans and ground cinnamon can be added on top for nuttiness and aroma.
Baked at 350°F for 40 to 50 minutes, the result is a browned, bubbly dessert where the peaches remain juicy under a soft, cakey topping. The butter ensures the dry cake mix bakes into a tender crumb rather than drying out.
This dessert requires minimal preparation and no mixing, making it a convenient choice when canned fruit is on hand. It can be served warm with ice cream or cooled as a sweet snack.
For even cooking, it's recommended to cover the cake mix entirely with pats of butter to avoid dry spots. Some cooks chill and slice the butter into thin pieces or grate it to ensure better distribution over the dry mix.
Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix
- 2 cans peach pie filling
- 4 ounces butter
- ½ cup pecans
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking sheet with non-stick spray.
- Place two cans of peach pie filling in the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle 1 box of dry cake mix over the pie filling. Gently pat the dry cake mix over the peaches.
- Melt 4 ounces of butter and evenly pour the melted butter over the cake mix.
- Add pecans to the top of the cake and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until the cake has set, and the top is browned, and the peaches have become bubbly.
Notes
- Distribute melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix to prevent dry patches in the baked cake.
- Some suggest chilling butter and slicing or grating it into thin pieces for more uniform coverage.
