What Is A Dump Cake?

This easy dessert is prepared by “dumping” layers of fruit, a boxed cake mix, and melted butter in a baking dish. It is then baked until golden and bubbly. Dump cakes are similar to cobblers but have more of a cake texture. Dump cakes are popular because they are easy to make. They are also quick to assemble. You can make them with different fruits, cake flavors, and toppings.

Can I Use Fresh Peaches?

Yes. For fresh peaches, you’ll need 6 cups of sliced and peeled peaches, roughly 6-7 large ripe peaches. Toss them with a little white granulated sugar to help release their juices.

Best Way To Peel Fresh Peaches

Use any of the methods below to peel fresh peaches.

• Vegetable Peeler—This easy method quickly removes the peach skin without removing too much of the juicy flesh.
• Paring Knife—This method works well if you’re handy with a knife. However, ensure you’re removing just the skin. Be careful not to remove too much fruit flesh as you work your way around the peach.
• Blanche, immerse the peaches in a bowl of hot water for one minute. Remove them and submerge them in ice water. Once they’ve cooled, remove them from the ice water. The peach skin should slide off easily with your fingers.

Can I Use Frozen Peaches?

Yes. Let frozen peaches thaw at room temperature before placing them at the bottom of the baking dish.

Variations

• Cake Mix – Swap the yellow cake mix for white or vanilla. Butter pecan will also pair well with peaches.
• Nuts – Add chopped walnuts or pecans with the peaches for a nutty and crunchy texture.
• Fruits—Blueberries and blackberries pair well with peaches. Add these to the peach layer.

Suggested Toppings

Top this delicious Peach Crisp Dump Cake with any of the following:

• Vanilla ice cream
• Whipped cream
• Drizzle of caramel sauce
• Nuts, such as chopped walnuts, pecans, or sliced almonds
• Extra chopped fresh peaches

Storage
