If you want a new crunch, try using chopped almonds or walnuts instead of pecans. Each nut brings its own flavor and texture. To make your dump cake extra special, add a splash of vanilla extract. Almond extract also works well. These give a nice depth to the flavor. For added warmth, mix in a pinch of nutmeg with the cinnamon. This small change makes a big difference in taste.

So, choose the method that fits your time and mood! Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned? Yes, you can use frozen peaches. Just thaw them first. Drain any extra liquid. This keeps the cake from being too soggy. How can I make this recipe gluten-free? To make it gluten-free, swap the yellow cake mix with a gluten-free cake mix. Many brands offer great options. Is it possible to make well in advance and freeze? Yes, you can freeze it. Bake the cake and let it cool completely. Then, wrap it tightly and freeze for up to three months.
