Preparation

Step 1

It seems I just missed peach season this year and I have been craving peaches like crazy. I love my peaches with cinnamon and nutmeg and topped with a cobbler of some sort. Yes, they are also scrumptious in a smoothie, grilled, with whiskey, and of course fresh. But right now all I can think of is cake. Peaches and cake. Shocking huh?

Anyway, anytime we were heading to a pig roast or a barbecue at someones place I would bring the baked goods. Southern baking in my opinion is simple and all about the flavors. I remembered a dump cake I used to make in Florida and thought I would share it with y'all. A very easy cake made in one bowl, poured into a pan and canned peaches are poured over top. It doesn't get much easier than that. Well my three year old did most of the work and that is a simple cake.

Also know as a dump cake where I came from because you just dump it all in one pan. You don't have to stir it together. I will admit this isn't a classic dump cake, but it is my kind. Its all from scratch and 100% delicious. You can use your own fresh canned peaches or store bought.

Preheat over to 350

Place butter in a medium size microwave safe mixing bowl.

Heat butter in microwave until melted.

Add 1 cup sugar, flour, baking powder, salt
and whisk to combine.

Add milk and
vanilla, whisk until combined.

Pour batter
into prepared baking dish.

Add ½ cup sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to the juice.

Whisk to combine.

Pour juice over peaches.

Can you use a plain vanilla cake mix out of yhe box?

I use yellow mix and add about 1/4 cup of Pioneer biscuit mix and lots of melted butter, cinnamon and a little sugar on top. Its delicious this way.

Forgot...don't use milk...just put dry cake mixture on top then butter.

boxed cake mix works well for this recipe, I used to make it that way years ago. Now that is more simple to make than making your own cake mix out of scratch!
