Ingredients and Variations
Peaches: Fresh, frozen, or a can of drained peaches all work great! Frozen peaches don’t need to be thawed but you might have to add a few more minutes in the oven. Fresh peaches don’t need to be peeled and will add a rustic, homey look to the cake (but you can peel them if you want to).
Cake Mix: White, yellow, French vanilla, or a spice cake are the most common, but you can mix it up and use any flavor you like!
Nuts: Totally optional pecans, walnuts, or almonds add crunch and visual appeal to dump cakes.
Variations
Tasty mix-ins that complement peaches are dried cranberries, granola, diced apples or pineapple, and even coconut. Let these other dump cake combos inspire you:
- Apple Spice Cake + apple pie filling + toffee bits
- Chocolate Cake + cherry pie filling + white chocolate chips
- Yellow Cake + any berry variety + toasted nuts
