Notes

If using frozen peaches, let thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes prior to using them in the recipe. To use canned peaches, use 45 to 60 ounces of canned peaches packed in water, not syrup. Drain well.

Pro Tip: The nature of dump cakes make it difficult to spread your flour mixture evenly. High spots may not mix with liquids and remain raw. If you notice raw spots while baking, simply use a spoon to flatten out the high spot out so it can absorb some liquids.
