Peach Cobbler Dump Cake Recipe

Peach slices in syrup: These provide the fruity base and natural sweetness for the cobbler.

Yellow cake mix: This forms the crumbly, cake-like topping when combined with the butter.

Butter: Melted butter helps to bind the cake mix and peaches together, creating a rich and golden crust.

When preparing this peach cobbler dump cake, ensure that the cake mix is evenly distributed over the peaches. This will help achieve a uniform texture and prevent any dry spots. To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cake mix before sprinkling it over the peaches. This will give your dessert a warm, spiced aroma that complements the sweetness of the peaches.
