How to Make This Recipe
Making this Vegan Peach Almond Dump Cake couldn’t be easier — it’s a quick, one-pan dessert that delivers big flavor with minimal effort. The magic of this peach almond dump cake lies in its layering process: sweet peaches form the juicy base, almond extract adds warmth and aroma, and buttery cake mix creates a perfectly golden topping as it bakes. There’s no mixing, no fuss — just “dump,” layer, and bake for the ultimate comfort treat.
Start by spreading your sliced peaches evenly across the bottom of the baking dish, letting the syrup create a luscious foundation. Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the peaches, covering them completely. Drizzle the melted butter evenly across the surface to moisten the mix and form that irresistible crisp crust. Finally, add sliced almonds for a nutty crunch and bake until bubbly and golden brown.
Enjoy this Vegan Peach Almond Dump Cake warm from the oven with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the perfect sweet finish.
🛠️ Steps to Make Peach Almond Dump Cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
Drain canned peaches slightly and layer evenly in the prepared pan.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches.
Drizzle melted butter evenly over the cake mix to cover all areas.
Sprinkle almond extract over the top, then add sliced almonds.
Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the top is golden and the edges bubble.
Let cool slightly before serving; optionally top with whipped cream or vegan vanilla ice cream.
Expert Cooking Tips
To make your Vegan Peach Almond Dump Cake truly exceptional, a few expert tips can take this simple dessert to the next level. The secret to a perfect peach almond dump cake lies in balance — the right amount of syrup, butter, and almond flavor ensures a moist yet slightly crisp texture. Always drain the peaches slightly to prevent excess liquid from making the base soggy while keeping enough syrup for that signature juicy sweetness.
For extra flavor, mix a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg into the cake mix before baking — it enhances the warmth of the peaches and almonds beautifully. Use melted vegan butter to evenly coat the dry mix; this step creates that golden-brown crust everyone loves. Toast the sliced almonds lightly before adding them on top for a deeper, nuttier aroma.
Let your Vegan Peach Almond Dump Cake rest for 10–15 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set perfectly. Pair with dairy-free vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream for a dreamy finishing touch.
