Boxed Cake Mix Recipes

A boxed cake mix can be used to make many desserts other than a cake. When you are in a hurry to make a dessert, or you are just looking for a simple and easy to prepare dessert, a boxed cake mix can be a very versatile ingredient.

You can use a boxed cake mix to make cookies, pancakes, quick breads, and even cheesecake.

One of my favorite boxed cake mix recipes is Peach Cobbler Dump Cake. Although it is not a particularly elegant sounding name, the resulting dessert is delicious. And, the ingredients are just a few things you probably already have in your pantry like a can of peaches and a yellow cake mix.

Here's the recipe:

Peach Cobbler Dump Cake

Instructions:

1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 (32 ounce) can sliced peaches in heavy syrup
1/2 cup butter
Ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Empty peaches into the bottom of a 13 x 9- inch pan. Cover with the dry cake mix and press down firmly. Cut butter or margarine into small pieces and place on top of cake mix. Sprinkle top with cinnamon.

Bake for 45 minutes.

Serve with vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream

Variations:

• Sprinkle 1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds on top before baking
• Use a can of cherry or apple pie filling instead of the canned peaches
• Try cherry pie filling and chocolate cake mix for a "black forest" dessert
