Peach Cobbler Dump Cake Recipe

Peach slices in syrup: These provide the sweet and juicy base for the cobbler, adding a delightful fruity flavor.

Yellow cake mix: This creates the delicious, crumbly topping that complements the peaches perfectly.

Butter: Melted butter is drizzled over the cake mix to create a rich, golden crust.

Cinnamon: A sprinkle of cinnamon adds a warm, spicy note that enhances the overall flavor of the dessert.

When preparing this peach cobbler dump cake, make sure to evenly distribute the yellow cake mix over the peach slices to ensure a consistent texture. Use a fork to gently spread the melted butter across the surface, allowing it to seep through the cake mix and create a rich, buttery crust. For an added touch, consider using freshly grated cinnamon instead of pre-ground to enhance the flavor profile.
