Ingredients

Scale
  • 56 medium ripe fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (about 15.25 oz / 432g)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted (227g)
  • ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar (150g)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (65g)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Toss gently until peaches are evenly coated and fragrant.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly in a single layer.
  4. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches without stirring.
  5. In another bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, nutmeg, salt, and melted butter until crumbly and clumpy.
  6. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake mix layer.
  7. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crispy and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  8. Cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.

Notes

If the streusel browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. For extra juicy peaches, bake longer to thicken the filling. Peeling peaches is optional but recommended for smoother texture. Do not stir layers once assembled to maintain classic dump cake texture. Let cake rest before serving to avoid runny filling.
