🛒 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: Prepare the Peach Layer

Pour the entire can of sliced peaches, including all the juice or syrup, into the bottom of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Spread the peaches evenly to create the fruit base.

Tip: Leave the peaches undrained. Their natural liquid helps create a moist, flavorful filling as the dessert cooks.

Step 2: Sprinkle on the Cake Mix

Open the yellow cake mix and spread it evenly over the peaches. Make sure the dry mix covers the fruit from edge to edge.

Important: Avoid stirring the layers together. Keeping them separate helps create the classic dump cake texture.

Step 3: Add the Spices and Walnuts

Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and nutmeg evenly over the cake mix. If you enjoy a little extra crunch, add the crushed walnuts across the top.

Step 4: Arrange the Butter

Scatter the small pieces of butter over the entire surface of the cake mix. Distribute them as evenly as possible so the butter melts across the topping during cooking.

Step 5: Cook Until Golden and Bubbly

Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for approximately 2 hours. The dessert is ready when the peach filling is bubbling and the edges of the cake topping look lightly golden.

Try not to lift the lid while cooking, as keeping the heat inside helps the dessert cook evenly.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Spoon the warm peach dump cake into individual dessert bowls. Add a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and serve immediately.

The combination of warm, juicy peaches, buttery cake, and melting ice cream makes every bite wonderfully comforting!
