How to Make Instant Pot Southern Style Peach Dump Cake
Ingredients
- Yellow Cake Mix (1 box, approximately 15.25 ounces) – This is the base of your dump cake. It’s a convenient and reliable foundation that will create the cake layer without the fuss of measuring out flour, sugar, and leaveners.
- Peach Pie Filling (2 cans, each 21 ounces) – The soul of your dessert, providing the moist, sweet peachy layer that will sit beneath the cake mix. It’s what gives the dump cake its fruity character and luscious texture.
- Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup, cut into small pieces) – Butter is a crucial ingredient that adds richness and helps to moisten the cake mix as it cooks, leading to a tender crumb and a golden top if you opt to broil it after cooking.
- Rosamae Seasonings Peach Cobbler Seasoning (3 tablespoons) – This specialty seasoning will enhance the peach filling with a blend of spices, deepening the dessert’s flavor profile and introducing a complexity that regular canned peaches can’t provide on their own.
- Premium Vanilla Ice Cream – To serve with your warm dump cake, the ice cream will melt slightly, creating a creamy sauce that mixes with the peach and cake layers, adding a cool contrast to the warm dessert.
Instructions
- Spray the inside of your Instant Pot with cooking spray. Dump both cans of peach filling in there.
- Shake the Peach Cobbler Seasoning over the peaches. Stir in.
- Pour the cake mix over the peaches evenly. Don’t mix it in—just let it sit on top.
- Put the butter pieces all over the top of the cake mix. This will make sure the cake gets nice and moist.
- Put the lid on the Instant Pot. Make sure the valve is set to seal, not vent. Hit the manual button, set it to high pressure, and time it for 25 minutes. When it beeps done, leave it alone for another 10 minutes to let the pressure come down by itself. Then, turn the valve to vent to release any steam that’s left.
- Optional: If you want the top a bit crispy, put the pot in the oven on broil for just a couple of minutes. Keep an eye on it—it can burn quickly!
- Serve: Scoop out the warm cake and serve with ice cream.
Instant Pot Southern Style Peach Dump Cake Tips, Tricks, and more!
- Prepare Your Instant Pot: Ensure the inner pot of your Instant Pot is well-greased with either butter or a cooking spray to facilitate easy removal of the cake and to minimize cleanup afterward.
- Create Your Layers: Deposit your ingredients into the pot in layers, starting with the peach pie filling first, then the Peach Cobbler Seasoning, and finally the cake mix. It’s crucial not to stir these layers as they will naturally meld together during the cooking process.
- Even Butter Placement: Dot the surface of the cake mix with evenly spaced butter. This ensures consistent moisture and helps achieve an even, delectable crust on the cake.
- Opt for a Glass Lid If Possible: If you have an alternative glass lid that fits your Instant Pot, use it for the slow cook setting. This allows you to keep an eye on the progress without lifting the lid and losing heat.
- Stay Vigilant During Broiling: If you choose to broil the cake for a crisp top, remain attentive. A moment too long under the broiler can mean the difference between delightfully golden and disappointingly charred.
- Perfect Portioning: Serve the cake with an ice cream scoop to ensure you get a good mix of the soft cake and the rich, syrupy fruit filling.
- Spice to Your Taste: Taste the peach filling before adding the Peach Cobbler Seasoning. You might want to adjust the quantity according to your preference or add additional spices for a personalized touch.
- Patience with Pressure Release: Allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally. This step is not just a safety measure but also ensures that your cake finishes cooking through and sets correctly.
- Storing the Leftovers: Keep any leftover cake in an airtight container in the fridge. While it will last for a few days, the fresher, the better for optimal taste and texture.
- Reheat Properly: To reheat, either use the Instant Pot’s warm setting or gently reheat in an oven or microwave. If using the microwave, cover the cake with a damp paper towel to maintain moisture.
- Vary the Fruits: Don’t hesitate to swap out peach pie filling with another fruit filling of your choice for variety.
- Introduce Texture: If you enjoy a bit of crunch, consider sprinkling a handful of your favorite nuts over the cake mix before cooking.
- Decorative Touches: A light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel sauce over the finished cake can enhance both flavor and presentation.
- Invest in Ingredients: The quality of the peach pie filling and cake mix can greatly influence the taste, so opt for the best available options.
