Peach Cobbler Dump Cake Recipe

Peach slices in syrup: These provide the fruity base for the cobbler, adding sweetness and moisture. Yellow cake mix: This forms the cake layer, offering a buttery and rich flavor. Butter: Melted butter helps to bind the cake mix and adds a rich, creamy texture. Cinnamon: A sprinkle of cinnamon adds a warm, spicy note that complements the sweetness of the peaches.

To ensure an even distribution of the melted butter over the cake mix, try using a spoon or spatula to gently spread it out. This will help create a more uniform crust and prevent dry spots in your peach cobbler dump cake.
