| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Canned Peaches (with juice) | 1 can (21 oz) | Use peaches in juice, not syrup, for balanced sweetness |
| Yellow Cake Mix | 1 box | Any brand will work, but classic yellow yields the best texture |
| Butter | 6 oz | Cut into chunks for even distribution |
| Walnuts (optional) | ⅓ cup | Adds a delightful crunch |
| Ground Cinnamon | 1 teaspoon | Enhances the warm, fruity flavors |
| Ground Nutmeg | ½ teaspoon | A touch of spice for depth |
| Vanilla Ice Cream | As needed | For serving, elevating the dessert |
Each ingredient plays a crucial role, and together, they create a harmonious symphony of flavors and textures.
Before starting, lightly grease the slow cooker with non-stick spray or butter. This simple step ensures easy serving and minimal cleanup.
Pour the entire can of peaches, juice included, directly into the bottom of the slow cooker. The juice is vital; it keeps the cake moist and infuses every bite with peachy goodness.
Evenly sprinkle the yellow cake mix over the peaches. Do not stir. The beauty of a dump cake lies in its effortless layering, not mixing. The cake mix will absorb the peach juices as it cooks, creating tender, flavorful pockets.
Scatter the ground cinnamon and nutmeg evenly across the top of the cake mix. If using walnuts, sprinkle them now to add delightful texture and a nutty depth of flavor.
Place the butter chunks evenly over the surface. As the butter melts, it will create rich, moist tunnels through the cake, ensuring every spoonful is luscious and flavorful.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it on high. Let it cook for approximately 2 hours. You’ll know it’s done when the cake mix has absorbed the peach juices and formed a golden, slightly crisp top.
Scoop generous portions into bowls while it’s still warm. Top each serving with a hearty scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cold ice cream melting into the warm, spiced cake creates an irresistible dessert experience.
