🛒 Ingredients

Ingredient	Amount
Canned sliced peaches (with juice)	1 (21-ounce) can
Yellow cake mix	1 box
Butter, cut into small pieces	6 ounces
Ground cinnamon	1 teaspoon
Ground nutmeg	½ teaspoon
Crushed walnuts (optional)	⅓ cup
Vanilla ice cream	For serving

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Add the Peaches

Pour the entire can of peaches, including the syrup or juice, into the bottom of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker.

Tip: Don’t drain the peaches. The liquid helps moisten the cake mix while creating a rich, syrupy fruit layer.

Step 2: Add the Cake Mix

Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the peaches, covering the fruit completely.

Important: Do not stir. Keeping the ingredients layered is what gives dump cake its signature cobbler-like texture.

Step 3: Season the Top

If using walnuts, scatter them evenly over the cake mix. Sprinkle the cinnamon and nutmeg across the surface for extra warmth and flavor.

Step 4: Add the Butter

Distribute the butter pieces evenly over the top so they melt throughout the cake as it cooks.

Step 5: Slow Cook

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on HIGH for about 2 hours, or until the topping is lightly golden around the edges and the peach filling is bubbling.

Try to keep the lid closed during cooking to maintain an even temperature.

Step 6: Serve

Spoon the warm peach dump cake into dessert bowls and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. As the ice cream melts into the warm peaches and buttery cake, it creates the perfect finishing touch.
