Peach Dump Cake for Dessert

Tweet

Last night we had my Mom, brother, SIL and niece over for dinner. We had a venison roast, roasted chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, cauliflower, salad and a peach dump cake for dessert. When everyone arrived they checked out the buffet we had set up on the counter. The dump cake raised some eyebrows. I have to say that it disappointed me when I turned it on the serving platter. It held true to its name and really looked like someone dumped it on the plate. The dinner went well. Everyone enjoyed the meal and there wasn't a morsel of chicken left and only one slice of the venison was remaining on the platter. Then came dessert and coffee. I served the dessert on paper plates, per my mother's request, even though we have a dish washer! I am happy to report that there wasn't a crumb left! My mother was happy to receive the remaining serving and gobbled it down quickly. Here is the recipe that I found on the internet. It uses a boxed yellow cake mix, 1 large can of sliced peaches, 1/2 cup butter and cinnamon. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pour the peaches along with the juice or syrup into an 8x12 pan that has been sprayed with a non-stick spray. Sprinkle cinnamon over peaches. Top with cake mix and pat firmly. Grate a stick (1/2 cup) of butter over cake mix. Sprinkle cinnamon over top of butter. Bake for 35-40 minutes. I would serve this straight from the pan while it is still warm. Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice-cream if you so desire. Remember, if it doesn't look appealing to the eye, give it a try, it will surprise you. This dessert ended up as one that I will most certainly try again, despite how it looked!
