Even though it can be a time fraught with emotions and expectations, those same hopes make for positively Maximum Enjoyment on some more earthy fronts. Like eating special Holdiay Food… This year, I dedided to go with what I enjoyed best, and for loooow stress, what was easiest. The dinner was basic: spiral ham, sweet potatoes with butter, green beans with a little vinegar and freshly ground black pepper, and some sourdough bread (and, heh, more butter). But, since this is a Festival(!) there had to be some sweets there somewhere. And while doing something completely unreleate, I found a simple, homely home solution: DUMP CAKE. This was something that was just totally intriguing from the get go: one pan, one can, more butter, NUTS, and ice cream. (Lots of inspiration here: 30 Delicious Dump Cake Recipes.) PEACH DUMP CAKE You will need: – 1 – 8×8" inch cake pan – 1 (16 ounce) cans peach slices (I used lite syrup) – 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix (used only 1/2) – 1/2 cup nuts of choice (I used PECANS!) – about 1/2 cup butter – ground cinnamon 1. Grease your baking pan with a little butter. Serve plain or with some lovely vanilla Ice Cream! THAT’s IT! If you want to make a bigger cake, use 2-cans of peaches & all of the cake mix, etc. Unbelievably good! And you can make variations of this to infinity – you just substitute different fillings, nuts, etc and WOW!
