Dump Cake Recipes
What is Peach Cobbler Dump Cake?
A dump cake is a straightforward dessert that involves placing all the ingredients into a baking dish and baking them. In this particular version, peaches are used along with their juices, which are thickened with cornstarch and flavored with cinnamon. Since they feature a layer of filling beneath a layer of topping, they resemble a cobbler more closely than a standard cake.
What do I serve with this Peach Cobbler Dump Cake?
- Maraschino cherries
- Vanilla ice cream
- Cool whip
RECIPE FAQs-
- Can I add something to give it a little crunch to it?
- You can always add shaved almonds or chopped walnuts to the top when baking to give a crunchy texture to the cake.
- Do I need to mix the ingredients together once in the pan?
- For this particular dump cake, you will need to stir the cornstarch into the peach juice. That way, it will thicken as it cooks. If you don’t stir this together, you’ll get bites of the cornstarch, and that’s just not going to give you a great flavor. If you would like this to be a proper dump cake with no mixing at all, just leave out the cornstarch and you’ll have a thinner sauce to your cake.
- Do I need to drain the peaches at all?
- No, you do not want to drain the peaches at all. All of the moisture in the can will be used up by the cake mix, so just open the can and pour all of its contents into the pan.
- Do I need to cover the cake while it is baking?
- You should leave your cake uncovered while baking. However, if your cake is browning too quickly, then you can loosely cover it while it finishes baking. Also, keep in mind that baking time can be affected by altitude and humidity.
What are substitutions that I can make?
- Sliced Peaches in juice – you could use sliced peaches in corn syrup.
- Yellow cake mix – you could use a white cake mix as an alternative.
- Butter—You must use real butter here, not margarine, as it will be too greasy and not leave a good aftertaste.
How should I store my leftovers?
- This should be stored tightly covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. The cake is good, both cold and warm, so if you want to warm your slice after having stored it in the refrigerator, you can microwave it for 10-15 seconds.
