This week I chose recipes that are extremely easy and inexpensive for us college students. We all know everyone loves cheap and easy! These dump cakes are so sweet and delicious and a super quick treat if you need to prepare a dish for an event. If you enjoy eating a nice warm cobbler with some vanilla ice cream then this dessert is for you. All you need for this simple dessert is canned fruits, a box cake mix, butter, and a cake pan. Here is a recipe for a Peach Cobbler Dump Cake and a Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake.
Peach Cobbler Dump Cake:
Ingredients:
– Three cans of sliced peaches
– White or Yellow cake mix
– 8 tbsp butter
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F
Dump the contents of the peach cans into a 9×13” (or similar) cake pan.
Take the package of cake mix and spread it evenly on top of the peaches in the pan. (No need to make the cake batter – we’re solely using the powdered content of the package)
Place the 8 tbsp of butter evenly on top of the cake mix throughout the pan (so that it can melt evenly)
Bake for 45 minutes to an hour or until topping is golden brown and crisp looking.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for premium enjoyment!
