Note: You can also use fresh or frozen peaches instead of canned, but you will need to add some additional sugar or syrup to the peaches to create the syrup that is needed for this recipe.

Topping suggestions:

Peach dump cake is delicious on its own, but if you want to add a little something extra to it, here are a few topping suggestions:

1. Whipped cream: A dollop of whipped cream on top of each slice of peach dump cake is a classic choice. You can make your own whipped cream or use store-bought.
2. Vanilla ice cream: Another classic topping for peach dump cake is a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cold, creamy texture of the ice cream pairs perfectly with the warm, sweet cake.
3. Caramel sauce: Drizzling caramel sauce over the top of the cake adds an extra layer of sweetness and a touch of decadence.
4. Chopped nuts: Chopped nuts like pecans, walnuts, or almonds can add a nice crunch to the soft texture of the cake. Sprinkle a handful of chopped nuts over the top of each slice.
5. Fresh berries: Adding a few fresh berries like raspberries or blackberries to the top of each slice can provide a nice contrast of flavors and textures.
