Ingredients

• 1 (15 oz) can of sliced peaches in syrup (or 2 cups fresh peaches, sliced)
• 1 box (15.25 oz) of yellow cake mix
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional for serving)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Skillet: Use a 10 to 12-inch cast iron skillet or another oven-safe skillet. If you're using fresh peaches, slice and place them in the skillet. If using canned peaches, pour them (with syrup) directly into the skillet.
3. Add Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the peaches. Do not stir; just let it sit on top.
4. Add Cinnamon: sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the top.
5. Drizzle with Butter: Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix.
6. Bake the Cake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cake mix is cooked through.
7. Serve: Allow it to cool slightly before serving. This cake is delicious on its own or served warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

Tips for the Best Skillet Peach Dump Cake

• Baking Time: Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cake mix is cooked through. Ovens can vary, so start checking at the 40-minute mark.

• Peach Options: Both fresh and canned peaches work great. If using canned, don’t drain the syrup—that’s what keeps the cake moist and flavorful!

• Butter Distribution: Pour the melted butter as evenly as possible over the cake mix. This helps create that delicious, crisp topping.

• Serve Warm: This dessert is best enjoyed warm, straight out of the skillet. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.

• Make It Your Own: Try adding a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts on top for a little crunch, or a pinch of nutmeg for extra spice.
