Years ago I was in a class called Bible Study Fellowship. I learned so much and had an amazing teacher who made the Bible so plain and understandable for me. During one of our classes Ms. Briscoe (our teacher) used an analogy that involved dump cake. Now I can't remember what she was comparing the process of the dump cake to, but I remember being intrigued by her description of the dump cake. I looked it up as soon as I got home and tried it out for myself. I've been hooked ever since. I have tried several different combinations, but the recipe below for peach dump cake is one of my favorites because it fulfills my peach cobbler craving without all of the work. This is another one of those easy recipes that anyone can do and end up with a great outcome that will satisfy the whole family.

Peach Dump Cake

by Brandi's Foodie Diary November-13-2017

Sometimes you just don't have enough time to make peach cobbler. In those moments Peach Dump Cake to the rescue.

Ingredients

2 cans (21 ounces each) Peach Pie Filling
1 box Spice Cake Mix
2 sticks Butter
1 teaspoon Apple Pie Seasoning
1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Seasoning

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread 2 cans of peach pie filling around a 9X13 inch pan. Sprinkle apple pie seasoning and pumpkin pie seasoning directly onto the peach pie filling. Mix until all of the seasoning is thoroughly mixed into the filling. Dump the box of spice cake mix over the top of the filling. DO NOT mix the cake mix into the filling. Make sure that the cake mix is evenly covering the peach pie filling. Thinly slice one and a half sticks of butter and place slices on top of the cake mix side by side with a little space in between. Reserve the other half of the butter for later. Place dump cake into the center of the over and bake for 40 minutes. Check the dump cake and use the additional half stick of butter to fill in any areas of the cake that still look dry. Place back in the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool and then serve.

Start by spreading peaches in the bottom of your pan.

The peaches by themselves are a little bland so I like to spice them up a little with some seasonings.

Spread one box of cake mix (without mixing it into the peach pie filling) top with sliced butter and add a few sprinkles of additional spices on top. Then place in the oven. After 40 minutes check your cake and put additional butter in any places that still look dry.

Once the dump cake is brown pull out of the oven and allow to cool.

Serve with a bit of cool whip or ice cream. Dump cakes are so much fun to make and the possibilities are endless. Try mixing and matching different pie fillings with different cake mixes.
