Indulge in the delight of a classic dessert with our Peach Cobbler Dump Cake, a recipe that’s as easy as it is delicious. With just four simple ingredients, this dessert is the best way to celebrate the juicy peaches of the season or enjoy the sunny peachy flavor any time of year.
The simplicity of this easy peach dump cake recipe is one of its greatest strengths. You’ll start by layering canned peach pie filling in a baking dish, and the juicy peaches create a luscious base that’s impossible to resist. Then, a box of yellow cake mix is evenly spread on top of the peaches, creating a golden brown and slightly crispy topping that complements the sweet peach juice underneath. A big scoop of melted butter is drizzled over the cake mix, creating a rich and indulgent layer that adds to the overall scrumptiousness.
After just a short time in the oven, the magic happens, and you’re left with a delightful dessert that’s one of our favorite peach recipes. The aroma of cinnamon sugar fills the air, making it nearly impossible to wait for it to cool. Once it’s done, serve individual servings with a scoop of ice cream for a classic dessert experience that will have you savoring every bite.
Leftover Peach Cobbler Dump Cake, if you have any, can be stored in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap and kept in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. It’s great for those moments when you’re craving a quick and satisfying treat. This easy dessert recipe has become a family favorite and is one of our favorite things to make when we’re short on time but still want a most delicious dessert.

What is a dump cake?
A dump cake is the simplest dessert you can make – it usually has a base of a cake mix plus fruit filling.
You dump all the ingredients into the pan, stir them together (in the pan! No bowl needed!), and bake.
For this Peach Cobbler Dump Cake, you don’t even have to stir all the ingredients together. It really is a dump-and-go dessert.
This dump cake reminds me of a cobbler because of the way the crust gets crispy on the outside, but it stays warm and soft on the inside.
We love dump cakes:
It started with this Peach Cobbler Dump Cake, but then branched out into our Pumpkin Dump Cake, and then we made an Apple Cider Dump Cake, and took it a step further with our Apple Raspberry Dump Cake.
You can also make pineapple dump cake, blueberry dump cake, chocolate cherry dump cake, strawberry dump cake – the options are endless! As long as you have canned fruit and a cake mix, you can make any variation of this quick dessert. It’s the perfect recipe for any season and occasion!
They are all so delicious – it’s making me hungry just thinking about them! And there’s nothing better than simple dessert recipes the entire family can make together.

- Dump peaches in bottom of a 9×13″ pan.

To save time, some of our readers have melted the butter and poured it over the top of the dry mix – either way will work just fine.
If you are having problems with the cake being too dry, before you bake the cake, press the cake mix down into the peaches to help combine the dry mix with some of the moisture with the peaches.

I actually just used a baking dish and baked it in the oven. Just follow the directions and it will walk you through it. Thanks!
I think you could definitely do this in a crockpot! Let us know how it goes!
I have never tried it with fresh peaches so I am not positive how it would turn out. My only concern is that it would be too dry because you pour in the whole can of peaches AND the juice. If you used fresh peaches, I would add some sort of liquid so it wouldn't come out dry and crumbly. Sorry I am not much help!
I will say that the Six sister's recipe is as close as any I've ever come across to what she made! ;o)
Just wondering if you used the fresh peaches and how it turn out. I'm thinking of adding sugar to my sliced peaches to get the liquid needed. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thank you
Drain the liquid off te peaches into a bowl, mix a few tablespoons of flour and a tsp or two of cinnamon into the juice before pouring over the peaches. Then dump your dry cake mix and top with butter. It gives the bottom layer that creamy, tangy peach cobbler texture.
An equally awesome twist on this is 2 cans of strawberry pie filling with a chocolate cake mix! We call it chocolate covered strawberry cobbler.
One question...do the leftovers need to be refrigerated?
