Would the festive period truly feel whole without some baking and sweet delight? No, isn’t it? This is why I present to you one of the most delightful festive season recipes – the peach empty cake! 

Peach empty cake is a moist, sticky, and absolutely delightful festive pleasure. It’s simple to create and comes with a burst of late-summer tastes. Even though this recipe can be prepared using some quick methods, I’ll guide you through creating the recipe from the beginning. 

Principally, it’s simple to follow. Additionally, can you genuinely end the year without some baking? So, are you interested in knowing about this exceptionally delicious cake recipe? First, let me provide you with a list of the ingredients you will need.

After reviewing the list of ingredients, I’m confident that you’ll understand that this dessert is somewhere in the middle of a cake and a cobbler. Thus, let’s start creating it!

What Supplies Are Required to Prepare Peach Empty Cake?

• Oven – An oven is necessary to bake the peach empty cake.
• Bowl – You need a bowl to mix the dry ingredients.
• Baking Pan – A baking pan is essential for assembling all the ingredients for the cake and baking. I used a 9 x 13 inches pan.

What Elements Are Needed to Produce Peach Empty Cake?

• Flour – To prepare the peach empty cake, you will require 1 ¼ cup of flour for the base.
• Sugar – You will need a cup of castor sugar for sweetness in the cake.
• Baking Powder – Two teaspoons of baking powder will help make your cake mix fluffy.
• Baking Soda – You will need half a teaspoon of baking soda. 
• Sliced Peaches – Peaches are the primary ingredient in this dessert. Hence, you will need a 15 – 25 oz. can of sliced peaches. Fresh peaches can also be used.
• Butter – Melted butter is needed to maintain the dessert’s moisture and prevent sticking to the pan.  
• Ground Cinnamon – We’ll add ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon to bring in a hint of warmth.
• Ground Nutmeg – Additionally, ⅛ teaspoon of ground nutmeg will be added. It is an ideal addition to desserts for its sweet and slightly spicy flavor.
• Kosher Salt – To enrich the cake’s flavor, we’ll use ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt. If kosher salt is not available, table salt can also be used.

Steps for Creating Peach Empty Cake

1. Create The Cake Mix

To prepare the cake mix, take a bowl and blend the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Set Up The Pan

Place the sliced peaches, along with their juice (if using preserved peaches), in a 9×13 pan. Sprinkle the prepared cake mix over them and evenly distribute it over the peaches.

Then pour the melted butter on top and gently shake the pan to spread the butter evenly on top. This will also allow some of the flour mixture to seep into thepêches. 

3. Start Baking!

Having properly arranged the peach dump cake ingredients in the pan, put it in the oven. Let it bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until you notice a light browning on the top. Take it out of the oven. 

How To Present Peach Dump Cake?

Now that your delightful peach dump cake is ready, and I’m confident that you’re already enjoying it. It’s time for the best part – serving and savoring it. Unlike traditional cakes, you can serve peach dump cake directly from the oven or enjoy it cold. The choice is entirely yours. However, it cannot be sliced; you’ll need to scoop it into bowls. 

How Can I Enhance A Peach Dump Cake?

This dessert is a quick and easy recipe that can be relished at any temperature and time of the day. Nevertheless, a festive dessert wouldn’t be complete without a touch of elegance and splendor. Therefore, to elevate this dessert into a delightful experience, there are various ways to dress it up.

So, what can you do? You can embellish this cake with toasted almond slices on top to add extra crunch and a golden hue. Alternatively, you can also include scoops of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This will not only enhance the visual appeal but also make this dessert even more scrumptious. 

Moreover, you can invite some other fruits to join the celebration. Sprinkle a cup of dried blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries on top or add them to the cake mixture before baking for an additional burst of color and flavor.

Peach Dump Cake Vs Peach Cobbler

After going through this recipe, it’s natural to ponder about the dissimilarity between a cobbler and a dump cake. While the flavor might not exhibit a stark contrast, the disparity lies in the dessert’s composition.

Typically, a cobbler features a biscuit or pie crust topping. On the contrary, a dump cake is concocted using a cake mix and garnished with peaches.

How To Preserve Excess Peach Dump Cake?

Uncertain about what to do with the leftover peach dump cake? You can store any remaining portions of peach dump cake in an airtight container. This will prevent any unwelcome odors from tainting the cake’s flavor. Subsequently, place it in the refrigerator. 

Your peach dump cake can retain its quality in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for the optimal taste and texture. However, if you intend to consume it within a few hours, you can also keep it outside in a cool spot. 

How To Consume Stored Peach Dump Cake?

The method of enjoying leftover peach dump cake greatly relies on your preference. While I prefer slightly warming it in the microwave, you can also let it sit outside for 30 minutes to reach room temperature. Alternatively, if you prefer cold desserts, you can indulge in it directly from the refrigerator. 

Why Opt for Homemade Cake Mix For Peach Dump Cake?

While many peach dump cake recipes call for a store-bought cake mix, I like to prepare it at home. There are two primary motives behind this decision. Firstly, preparing the cake mix at home is incredibly straightforward. Secondly, this recipe is also gluten-free.
