"Dump" Cake Recipe - like peach cobbler...

This recipe with the unappetizing name is actually very good.
A nice dish for fall and winter. I hope you enjoy it.

DUMP CAKE

2 cans sliced peaches or whatever canned fruit you like. (Cherry is very good)
1 yellow cake mix, any brand
1 stick of butter

Pour cans of peaches or the fruit of your choice (including the liquid or syrup) into a 9x12" baking dish.

Sprinkle the cake mix on top of the peaches, spread it a little bit for evenness, but do not stir.
Cut margarine stick into pats and place pieces of margarine all over the top of the cake mix.

Bake in 350 degree oven for approx 35-40 minutes, or until top is browned slightly or browned to your preference.

Let cool for about 10-15 minutes before digging in...each serving is nice topped with Cool Whip or vanilla ice cream but that is optional.

You can make this with whatever canned fruit you like...cherry pie filling is also a nice fruit for this...it is like a cobbler.

If you want to fix this only for 2-3 people, then use only 1 can of fruit, 1/2 box of the cake mix, and 1/2 stick of margarine and prepare it in an 8"x8" baking dish.
