Peach Cobbler Dump Cake Recipe

Peach slices in syrup: These canned peaches provide the sweet, fruity base for the cobbler. Make sure to use the syrup as it adds extra sweetness and moisture.

Yellow cake mix: This boxed mix simplifies the recipe and creates a delicious, crumbly topping when baked.

Butter: Melted butter is drizzled over the cake mix, adding richness and helping to create a golden, crispy top.

To enhance the flavor of your peach cobbler dump cake, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg over the peach slices before adding the cake mix. This will give the dessert a warm, spiced aroma and a deeper, more complex taste.
