Three ingredient Peach Dump Cake is quick, simple, and utterly tasty. It is warm, gooey, and perfectly peachy!!
Peach Dump Cake is always a hit, and it’s an easy dessert to make! Keep it simple with any of our dump cake recipes. We especially love Cherry Dump Cake and Apple Dump Cake.
Like Peach Cobbler, but Easier!
A dump cake is similar to a cobbler, and one of my favorite go-to types of desserts.
Dump cakes are usually made with a base of cake mix plus some sort of fruit filling. They are usually dumped into a pan, stirred, and baked. Simple!
My first was our Pumpkin Dump Cake which quickly become a fall favorite, but we love peach treats in our home (especially Peach Cobbler) so we knew this Peach Dump Cake would be a hit – and it was!
We know Dump Peach Cobbler is especially delicious when it’s chilly outside, but it’s also appealing in the spring and summer because of its fruity-ness. Perhaps I’m just trying to find excuses to enjoy it all year long!
How to Make Peach Dump Cake
Just like the name, this cake is one you dump and go. It’s so simple that you’ll be wanting to try all the fruit varieties!
PREP. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread peaches, with the liquid into a greased 9×13 dish.
LAYER + BAKE. Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the peaches. Cut the butter using a pastry blender and place the butter evenly over the cake mix. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
ENJOY! Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream or dollop of Whipped Cream. However you serve it, we think you’ll love it!
USing Fresh Peaches
Replace the canned peaches with fresh or frozen peaches. If using fresh peaches make sure they are not overly ripe – they’ll produce way too much liquid, resulting in a runny dessert. Peel the skins off and slice them.
For each 29-oz can of peaches:
- 2 cups of sliced peaches, ¾ cup of white sugar, and a dash of salt. (For an even thicker peach sauce, mix in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.) Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Pour the peach mixture over the bottom of the dish and proceed with the recipe as instructed.
Dump Cake Tips
This Peach Dump Cake is so easy and delicious it’s sure to become a family favorite! Here are a few handy tips when baking this tasty treat:
Time saver. Melt the butter in the microwave and then drizzle the melted butter on top of the cake mix before you bake it.
Make it a crisp. If you are wanting more of a “peach crisp” dump cake, add quick or old-fashioned oats to the cake mix before baking.
Other fruits we want to try: blackberries, blueberries, cherries, raspberries, and apples. Use the canned fruits for this and the instructions will be the same.
Extra notes:
- Use the dry cake mix only.
- Use a regular can of peaches, not peach pie filling.
- The recipe relies on the peach liquid, so do not drain the juice from the can of peaches.
Variations
- sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on top
- sprinkle brown sugar and ground cinnamon over the top before baking
- use a white cake mix instead of yellow
Make it in a crock pot. Dump the peaches and syrup in the bottom of a greased slow cooker. Melt your butter and mix it with your cake mix. Sprinkle over the peaches, making sure to break up any large pieces. Cook on HIGH for 2 hours or LOW for 4 hours.
Storing info
STORE. Place leftover Peach Dump Cake in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave if wanting to enjoy it warm.
FREEZE. Store it in an airtight container. It should freeze well for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw it in the fridge overnight. Transfer it to an oven-safe dish and warm it up in a 350° oven.
Who would have thought combining 3 simple ingredients could make a delicious, addicting cake?! We sure didn’t, but we are so glad we can add this to the long go-to dessert list.

Can I use peaches canned with pear juice
Yes, you can. Note that this recipe calls for peaches in heavy syrup, so depending on how thick the pear juice is, you may want to add a cornstarch slurry: mix 3-4 teaspoons of cornstarch with an equal amount of water and add it to the recipe.
Can “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” be used?
I used “I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter” before and I couldn’t taste any difference.
Do yo use salted or unsalted butter?
I always use unsalted, but either could work.
So easy to prepare. Able to use ingredients I already have. Can hardly wait to get it out of the oven.
We have done something similar to this for years in our Dutch ovens. If we use pie filling we add a can of 7-Up or Sprite.
Sounds yummy!
Greetings!
Could frozen peaches that have been thawed out(prior to making this recipe) be used and could non-sugar sweeteners be used or even no sweetener at all? Also instead of boxed cake mixes could this be made with Almond flour or Coconut flour to keep it as low carb as possible? Thank you in advance for your valuable time and assistance with this recipe. I truly appreciate all you do to help us on our journey.
Hi! Yes, you could use frozen (thawed) peaches. I would refer to the using fresh peach section if using the thawed peaches, because you will still want to create some kind of juice/syrup to help the cake. I haven’t used it with just almond flour or coconut flour. The cake mix has a leavening agent in it which helps the cake rise, so I don’t know if just using the flour would yield a successful result.
You could try our easy peach cobbler recipe and try swapping the flour for those flours instead. You might have a better chance of that being successful using that recipe with your substitutions. https://lilluna.com/peach-cobbler/ Either way, you’ll have to let us know what you do and use and how it turns out!
Absolutely delicious. I added, rolled oats on top of the cake. Mix with some nutmeg and cinnamon, and then topped it with brown sugar. Then the melted butter it came out wonderful.
Oh my goodness! Like some others mentioned, I used peaches in juice, not the heavy syrup and added a little brown sugar and cinnamon to them. Then spread out a yellow cake mix on top….also with a little brown sugar and cinnamon added. Topped off with 1 and a half sticks of melted butter. This was SO DELICIOUS! Thanks for sharing!
Yummy!! Sounds tasty! So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I always hate it when people say they used a recipe and then list all of the changes. And yet here I am. Fabulously easy. I did use fresh peaches as we just picked 5 bushels from our tree. But the big thing I wanted to share with you all was I decided to pick up a lemon cake mix. Absolutely fantastic. And love how easy it is
Easy and delicious! I added 1 cup of brown sugar over cake mix and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans then the butter. Like a crumb topping new favorite
I made this yesterday, (Memorial Day). I looked good, it tasted alright, but the texture left us a somewhat disappointed. I melted the butter as suggested and poured it over the dry cake mix. I left it in the over about 10 minutes longer than was given, because the knife didn’t come out, quite clean. It was more gooey than anything else. I’m just glad that I only served it to a couple family members and NOT to friends and neighbors! Sorry.
It’s not supposed to be clean. It’s supposed to be gooey.
Nancy,
I found that adding 2 boxes of cake mix does better. It has a more cake like consistency with that syrup gooey texture. The cake does not come out watery or too under done. It’s perfect with 2 boxes of cake mix and a 29oz can of peaches. I also used the peaches in 100% fruit juice, not the heavy syrup ones. Especially if you are using 2 cake box mixes. It prevents over sweetness.
Made it and loved it! Making again today for a pot luck lunch tomorrow !
This was so delicious. Used peaches with juice not syrup. Used about a cup of butter and I had to cook about 15 min more, maybe my oven is a little cooler than it should be. Loved it. Thank you for posting the recipe.
Will peaches is light syrup make a lot of difference?
The biggest difference will probably be the sweetness. Heavy syrup has more sugar so it will be sweeter. I imagine it will still taste delicious with the light syrup… you’ll have to let us know how it turns out.
Lil Luna team,
Thank you so much for this recipe. It was super delicious. It was wiped out soon after baking. I did alter the recipe though. 1 box cake mix came out too underdone. 2 cake boxes gives it that soft moist cake consistency and springiness….added to lots of syrupy goodness 🥰 Thank you again so much. My husband loves your peach dump cake.
Sooo good!
This is so good! I waited the 2nd day to eat. I warmed it up and top it off with Classic Vanilla ice cream😋
Sounds delicious!! So glad you enjoyed the cake!
Recipe for Peach Dump cake looks delishhh. Is it possible to double the recipe for a larger party. If so, are the baking instructions the same?
Could I use spice cake mix?
How do I adapt this if using fresh peaches instead of canned?
There is a section in the post with instructions for how to use fresh peaches. 🙂
Why does it show a 5 star rating on the top of the page, but only a 3 star rating by the comments?
That is where you can rate the recipe/article. Maybe you touched on it by mistake? You can try tapping on it and see if it changes.
Help. This is for my granddaughters birthday. And she loves peaches. Just want to decorate it. This is Joan again
Should I add cool whip to this.
I love to add fresh whipped cream (or cool whip would work too) when serving. Just a dollop on top. It’s also delicious with a scoop of ice cream. I don’t spread it all over the cake, just add when serving. The cake can be served without though and it’s fantastic that way too. Happy birthday to your granddaughter!
Can this be made with fresh peaches
Yes! We have a little section in the post with instructions for using fresh peaches. Hope you enjoy!
Sounds delicious can’t wait to try it this weekend.
Great recipe…. perfect summer dessert!
im going to love this
This cake was absolutely delicious, and it was so easy to make. I added about a cup of quick oats to the cake mix, and I got a beautiful (cobbler-like) crust. The melted butter worked really well. There were several areas of the cake where a bit of the cake mix was visible, so next time I’d probably mix the cake a bit more to combine everything. All in all, I can’t wait to make this again!
Made this for the first time for a picnic. Quick and easy recipe and it was a hit! Definitely will make again 🙂. I can always count on your site to find a good recipe, thanks!
If I am doing the peach dump cake in a crock pot how much oatmeal should I add to make it like peach crisp???
Here is our recipe for Peach Crisp … you could take the topping and try to add to the dump cake. I haven’t tried it, so you’ll have to let us know how it turns out if you do. 🙂 https://lilluna.com/peach-crisp/
Add me to the list of folks who used the wrong amount of butter. I just must not have been paying attention but I used 3/4 of a stick. Oops!!!
Can I use peaches in juice or light syrup?
It’s amazing
I have made this cobbler several times and it is always a crowd pleaser. I sometimes use a butter pecan cake mix and extra butter.
About half way through cooking check to make the cake mix is absorbed. If it is not I mix it up with a fork and lightly mix it up so it won’t be powdery.
Thanks for sharing what you do! Glad you enjoy the cake recipe!
So easy to make. We love it. Thank you for the recipe.
You’re welcome!
I’ve made this before, and it’s a huge favorite. So we’re starting one now to take to family birthday celebration. Warm or cold it’s scrumptious. Vanilla ice cream on top makes it even better.
Just made it. It was good. However some of the cake powder did not get absorbed. What could I have done wrong?
It probably didn’t absorb all of the butter. You could try cutting your butter a little thinner and spreading it out to cover more of the surface area. I’m glad you enjoyed the cake!!
Can you use peaches in light syrup?
Yummy and easy to make!!
I am so angry with this cake. The recipe was divided into section that were easily missed. For instance. I never saw the part about mixing the peaches with sugar and cooking them. I saw somewhere after I had put it in the oven, to mix the cake mix with the juice but it was not in the directions. You directed to spread the butter EVENLY over the cake mix using 3/4 of a stick. I used a whole stick and it did not cover the cake as much as you did in the video, which I didn’t see until I had started baking it. What I came away with was a pan of peaches with lots of dry cake mix on top that I had to throw away. I will never use another recipe from this site.
Sorry to hear that the cake didn’t turn out how you were expecting. The directions call for canned peaches, which don’t need to have sugar added or to be cooked. Did you use fresh/frozen peaches? If so, that’s where those specific instructions come into play, which the post specifically states. The directions also say to use 3/4 cup (not 3/4 stick) of butter. 3/4 cup would be about a stick and a half, which is probably why there wasn’t as much butter as you saw in the video. Again, I’m sorry that the recipe didn’t quite turn out. Thanks for your feedback and giving the recipe a try.
I think you might have been incorrectly using a different recipe since this was not the same ingredients used or methods and directions. So maybe you had a few different recipes open and you didn’t realize it when you reviewed it. Freeze the butter if you want to completely cover the top of the cake or try melting it first. Dump cakes are a really easy and delicious way to bake something without a lot of hassle. So no cooking the canned peaches or adding sugar. Better luck next time
This was very good and my family loved it! The next time I used 3 15oz cans of peaches and added some cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice to the peaches. Even better!!
did not turn out well at all..cake powder just sat on top
I have also had that problem. What I do is freeze the butter and grate it. I find this gives a more even layer for me (use real butter) hope this helps you! It is such a great dessert.
Thanks for sharing what you do!
Mine did too in some places. I just melted butter brushed over those spots and put back in the oven for a few minutes.
So quick. So easy. So delicious!!! Novice bakers rejoice, this is fool proof.
Love that this recipe only has 3 ingredients and takes just a few minutes to make! So yummy warm out of the oven topped with some vanilla ice cream!
This cake is SO YUMMY and it couldn’t be any easier to make. Will definitely make again!!
This is my go-to dessert when company comes over. It’s so nice to have a yummy easy dessert that is easy to whip up!
Great Peach Dump cake. So easy next I will try Cherry.
Delicious
Hi! Salted or Unsalted Butter?
I usually do unsalted when I bake because then I can control the amount of salt… but you could probably get away with either.
So easy and perfect size to take to a pot luck. That’s if I don’t bust into it before. I used my own peaches from a bumper crop this year.
Ooh those fresh peaches in there will be amazing! It’s a hard dessert to resist for sure. 🙂
I love this recipe and have made it several times. Tonight when I went to the pantry I only found pears and a strawberry cake mix, so I used that! My husband liked it even better than the usual version. Yum!!
Oh that sounds exciting! So glad you were able to get creative and still enjoy the recipe!
Awesome recipe
Great,simple, tastes great
Can you use peach pie filling instead or 1 can peaches then add peach pie filling.
I haven’t tried swapping the peaches for peach pie filling. You could certainly give it a try! You’ll have to let us know how it turns out.
I made it with the Betty crocker pound cake mix!!! Deeeelicious!!
Yum! So glad you enjoyed the cake!
I really like your site, and I don’t have to pay money to inspect the different methods of baking. Thanks Luna for this!!
You’re welcome! We love being able to share all our recipes, tips and tricks for free!
Do you think this would be just as good made with a white cake mix, rather than a yellow one?
Not the author, but I love white cakes for dump cakes! I think it’ll be delicious!
You could swap it out for a white cake mix and it should still be tasty!!
Can you make with fresh peaches?
You can. Just swap the canned peaches for this boiled fresh peach mixture: Take 4 cups of freshly sliced peaches, 1 1/2 cups of sugar, and dash of salt, and bring to a boil over high heat.
Looking delicious b
Absolutely delish!
I meant to mix in a little nutmeg, cardamom, and vanilla but totally forgot. So I simply sprinkled it on top just after popping it in the oven. It turned out wonderfully and was an absolute hit for mothers day dinner yesterday.
Yay!! So glad to hear the cake was a success. Thanks for sharing what you did too.
I would use the peaches in juice – not heavy syrup – too much sugar, and put some granola or toasted nuts on top.
Thanks for the feedback!
This was amazing!!! Made it for my Dads birthday and he asked me to make it every year for his birthday. Had it one day with ice cream and next day with whipped cream.
Yay! I’m so glad you all enjoyed it, especially your dad. Ooh I can’t ever decide my favorite… ice cream or whipped cream. So yummy with either one!
Just found this dump cake recipe. As I live Alone. I cut the recipe in half. Great good cannot wait to try the apple and others. Sue M.
I’m glad you were able to adapt the recipe. Hope you enjoy all of the flavors!
Could this dump cake be made with peach pie filling?
I haven’t tried it with the peach pie filling before, but you could certainly give it a try! You’ll have to let us know how it turns out if you do. 🙂
Very good and easy to make. It is a desert you can do so much with.
So happy to hear you enjoyed the recipe!!
do you have this converted recipe for fresh peaches? I’d love it if you get it figured out! thanks!
We don’t for this specific recipe, but we do have a fresh peach alternative in our Peach Cobbler recipe. You could potentially do that same thing and swap out the canned peaches for that fresh peach mixture. Here’s the instructions for that (and you’ll actually want to double this. It makes the equivalent of a 15 oz can of peaches): Take 2 cups of freshly sliced peaches (about 4-5 peaches, peeled, cored and sliced), ¾ cup of sugar, and dash of salt, and bring to a boil over high heat.
This recipe is amazing. My family likes it much better than the traditional peach cobbler
Oh I’m so glad to hear your family loves it!! Thanks for sharing!
Has anyone every double this recipe??
I haven’t, but imagine you could just fine if you use a large enough baking dish. You’d need to adjust the baking time as well. You’ll have to let us know how it turns out if you do double it.
My friend made this in his insta pot Omgosh was it to die for. Thumbs up!!
Ooh that’s awesome he made it in the instant pot! So glad you enjoyed the cake recipe. 🙂
So good and so easy. It went over fantastically at the potluck.
Hooray!! So happy to hear that!
Perfect dessert quick and easy to make. My family enjoyed it will be making it again. 💖
Oh I’m so happy to hear that your family enjoyed this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Can you use margin instead of butter?
I haven’t ever swapped it in this recipe, but I imagine it would work.The flavor/texture could be slightly different. You’ll have to let us know how it turns out if you do swap for margarine instead.
I used the sweetest fresh peaches and some fresh nectarines and one small pkg peach jello for extra great flavor
Mmmm that sounds amazing!!!
I’m making it tonight we’ll see how it goes I’ll let you know
Hope the cake turned out well for you! Thanks for giving it a try!
Easy to make & absolutely delicious warm
Thank you!! So happy to hear you enjoyed it!
This was not a good recipe. I followed it to a T, it came out pasty in some areas.
Thanks for your feedback and for giving the recipe a try!
When I took mine out of the oven I sprinkled it lightly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture I use for toast and let it cool. Yummy. Thanks for this recipe.
Ooh that sounds delicious! You’re welcome. So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I am getting ready to make this tomorrow. Can I use melted butter and pour it evenly over the top before baking?
Hi Laura! You may have made this cake by now. How did the cake turn out? I haven’t tried the recipe using melted butter. I always follow the recipe using cuts of butter. I’m curious to hear how it worked. 🙂
This was so easy and so tasty. I had to cook it for 50 min to get the perfect crunch on top, but it was worth it. I can’t wait to try it with other fruits and make it my own.
Yay! So glad to hear you enjoyed the recipe. It’s definitely fun to switch up the fruit options too.
So glad I found you!!!!
When I read your intro, “…I’m the mom of SIX stinkin’ cute kids and the wife to my smokin’ hot hubby…”, I knew you’re my kind of girl.
I’ve only just begun looking at your dessert recipes (they’re outstanding!) & look forward to everything else.
Thank you for sharing with ‘us’.
~ anne
Oh this just made my heart so happy! Thanks for your kind words and I hope that you keep finding recipes you enjoy!
My husband loves this recipe,I am making it again today 😊.
Yay! I love husband-approved recipes. So glad you found one he enjoys! 🙂
Deelecio just plain delicious
Thank you!!
Quick, easy and delicious. The second time i made it I used peaches in 100% fruit juice, added 1 Tbsp. Of molasses and 1/4C brown sugar. This added a little depth to the taste and cut the sweetness by about half.
Sounds tasty! Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear you enjoyed the cake.
Can I use frozen or fresh peaches? How would I prepare them to mimic the canned with the juice? Thanks!
You can. For our Peach Cobbler recipe we offer this option for using fresh peaches — it should work for the Dump Cake as well: You can substitue the canned peaches with a boiled fresh peach mixture. Take 4 cups of freshly sliced peaches, 2 cups of sugar, and 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice, and bring to a boil over high heat. Pour in the 9X13 pan.
You’ll have to let us know how it turns out if you use the fresh peaches! 🙂
I follow a tip from Paula Dean, 2 cups fresh fruit, 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar (I normally drop this to 3/4 cup), bring it a boil and then use like canned. I turns out great!
So good to know! This is so helpful. Thanks so much for sharing your tip with us!
I always use fresh peaches for peach cobbler I just mix one cup water with one cup sugar. Put layer of peaches on bottom and pour sugar mix over then follow the rest of the recipe.
I’ve made this with apple before and decided to try peaches today. I used 4 medium sized firm peaches, sliced appropriately. I made my own syrup with 12oz water and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Added enough to cover the peach layer. 1 box of white cake mix and topped with roughly 4 tbs of Irish cream butter. Into the oven at 350°. Finished with decent flavor but the cake mix didn’t moisten enough. Might have needed a bit more syrup added.
Sounds yummy!!!
So delicious!!!! SO easy to make and cannot wait to try other flavors! My other half could not stop eating it! Thank you for sharing your recipe 🙂
You’re welcome!! I’m so glad to hear you both loved the cake. I’m all about yummy and easy recipes, so I’m happy it was a hit!
I LOVE ❤️ trying new recipes!! My family are carnivores 😀.
The Peach Dump Cake HUGE SUCCESS!! 😋 I did use a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice, 1 tablespoon Vanilla and 1/2 cup sugar. Served warm over ice cream. Plan to use lefts over canned peaches for short cakes tomorrow!! 😀
I am Vegan! Any vegan recipes?
Yay!! So glad you loved the recipe! And that’s a great idea for the leftovers.
I have a few vegan recipes — our Date Balls are a yummy snack: https://lilluna.com/date-balls/ , our Greek Chicken Wraps have a vegan option (omit the chicken and feta cheese and use a vegan dressing: https://lilluna.com/greek-chicken-wrap/, and our Garlic Sesame Noodles can be made vegan if you omit the oyster sauce: https://lilluna.com/garlic-sesame-noodles/. Hope that gives you a few new recipes to try!
Can you use fresh peaches instead and if so what would I need to add to the recipe?
I have only used canned peaches for this recipe, but fresh peaches should work too. Here’s what we suggest for using fresh peaches in our cobbler recipe:
“The only change you’ll make to the recipe is substituting the canned peaches with a boiled fresh peach mixture. Take 2 cups of freshly sliced peaches, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice, and bring to a boil over high heat.”
That is enough for either an 8X8 or 9X9 pan, so you will probably to double the amount for a 9X13 like in this dump cake recipe. (4 cups fresh peaches). Then the rest of the recipe would be the same. You’ll have to let us know how it turns out with the fresh peaches!!
Can you use white cake mix instead?
Sure! I haven’t tried it, but I imagine it would still work fine, just a slightly different flavor/color.
You can actually use any cake mix you want. I have used spice cake mix. It tastes great. Just use your favorite cake mix and see how it turns out.
Made this recipe for a last minute Mother’s Day picnic… Served it with vanilla ice cream…It was a big hit!… Everyone wanted the recipe…Will definitely make it again…Thank you!
You’re welcome!! I’m so glad it was a hit and everyone enjoyed!
I was very disappointed In the results. It was not sweet enough and the cake mixture underneath was not cooked. What could have caused it? I baked for 40 minutes also. I have a brand new stove so I know it’s not that.
I’m sorry to hear your cake didn’t turn out the way you were hoping. I have never had the underneath not cook when layering the peaches first, then the cake mix, then the butter. The recipe says 40-45 minutes bake time, but every oven is different so it may need slightly longer. As far as sweetness goes, you could always add a bit of sugar or other sweetener to sweeten it up a bit. 🙂
I’ve cooked this for a few years now in my bbq pit for catering , and its come out great
How fun to make this in your bbq pit! Thanks for sharing!
can frozen peaches be used?
I haven’t tried this recipe with frozen peaches but if you would like to use frozen instead of canned I would recommend using about 30 ounces of frozen peaches. After they have thawed add 1/4 cup of sugar and bake with the other ingredients as directed. Hope this helps!
Wondering what the size/weight of the cake mix is. Mine was 468 grams but I didn’t need to use all of it as the peaches were quite covered partway through. If a second measurement could be included, that would be helpful since “1 box” isn’t necessarily a standard unit. I also managed with a half cup of butter instead of 3/4 as the latter seemed like too much once I started laying it out.
Nowadays most standard boxes of cake mixes are 15.25 ounces. That is the size of cake box mix I used in this recipe but I will be sure to include that info in the recipe instructions. This was good to know! Thanks so much!
I’m up in Canada and different cake mix brands have slightly different sizes for some reason, plus most things are in metric. 15.25 oz is roughly 432 g – thanks for the info!
I’ve made a couple different versions of this but this one is the best. This recipe has a little bit more butter than other recipes i’ve used and also uses yellow cake mix vs white. Whatever the difference – This is easy and delicious. My new favorite dessert.
I’m so glad you enjoy it as much as we do! It’s one of my favorite go-to desserts!
Delicious
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Too sweet and not enough cake. A miss in our hoyse.
I’m so sorry it didn’t turn out the way you had hoped. Thanks for trying it!
The best one l have tried.. thank you..
I’m so happy you liked it! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Can you make with pie filling same way
You sure can! Pie filling works great with this recipe as well.
Can you use cornbread and jiffy cornbread mix
I personally have not tried, so I can’t say for sure how it would turn out.
The peaches I have are not in heavy syrup they’re in pineapple juice unsweetened. What should I add to it to make the pie sweet?
Maybe add a little sugar 🙂
I would recommend compressing the cake mix down into the peaches/liquid before putting into the oven. This can easily be done with the back of a large spoon. If you don’t do this some of the dry cake mix will not incorporate with the peaches/liquid and will just sit on the top of the cake as a powdery uncooked topping.
Is it supposed to be really loose & jiggly? Or does it set up some as it cools?
It does set. It shouldn’t be too jiggly.
My husband liked it, but it was way too sweet for me.
Thank you for trying it!
Can peach pie filling be used instead of peaches in syrup?
I have not tried, but one way to find out 🙂
Yes, but you will have to add a little liquid. I use pie filling but add some peach schnapps to it! Its wonderful!
So yummy. I sprinkled the top with cinnamon sugar before I baked it. Everyone loved it.
Perfect!! Thanks for sharing!
I made this with a food processor. I put the cake mix, butter and oatmeal in and processed it until the butter was cut into the cake oatmeal mixtute and then poured it over the peaches in my crockpot it was wonderful.
Good to know! Thank you for sharing that!
Easy and delicious.
Happy you think so 🙂 Thank you so much!
I accidentally left my dump peach cobbler out on the counter in the pan with cover I cooked it in. We went out of town and it was 57 degrees in the house when we returned 3 days later. Is my peach cobbler trash now??😢
Not sure?? I don’t think I would personally eat it, but it’s like leaving it in the fridge, so it could be ok 🙂
Delicious!!!!
I am so glad you think so 🙂 Thank you for sharing that!
very good . I used fresh peaches. It turn out delicious. Lil I want to thank you for the recipes. Keep on sending Them. I love to try new recipes all the time. Thank you and have a wonderful rest of the week
Awe, thank you so much!! I hope you like the ones you try! You too!
Can oil be used instead of butter hisband will not allow me to use butter
I personally have not tried, but I am sure you could 😉
I don’t think so. You need the butter for flavor. Why won’t your husband let you use butter it’s better for you than margarine?
This will be fun & exciting to make
Hope you like it!

hi made this peach dump cake yum. And ladt 10 minutes I crushed up some shortbread cookies and sprinkled em over top for last 10 min of baking it was delish ty thi k one with apples and A crumble added to it like flour brown sugar butter one would be good like for apple crumble pie.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing that! I will have to try!
Easy and awesome!
Happy you think so 🙂 Thank you!
This is a very tasty RECIPE..But I like to add a little cinnamon and nutmeg to the cake mix. It gives it more flavor.
Those are great options 🙂 So happy you liked it! Thank you!
I put the flavor on the peaches and it’s good.
Can this be made with freah frozen peaches?
I haven’t, but you could. I would let them thaw out completely first!
Love love love it I usually do it with pineapples and cherry’s but this is my husband’s favorite! Thanks so much girlie
You are so welcome!! We like it with all different fruits, too!
Do you pour dry cake mix on top or add peach juice and then pour?
Peaches & juice goes on the bottom, then you do the cake mix over that, then butter 🙂 Enjoy!!
I MADE THIS RECIPE EXACTLY AS STATED, BUT WAS DISAPPOINTED, AS THE COOK TIME WAS OFF A GREAT DEAL. AT 350 DEGREES FOR 45 MINUTES I STILL HAD A LITTLE DRY CAKE MIX ON TOP, TOO MUCH LIQUID AND RAW CAKE BATTER. I PUT IT BACK IN THE OVEN AND HAD TO BAKE IT AN ADDITIONAL 30 MINUTES. I KNOW OVENS CAN VARY, BUT MINE ACCORDING TO A THERMOMETER READING IS ACCURATE. I WOULD SUGGEST MODIFYING THE COOKING TIME ON THE RECIPE. I WILL SAY THE FLAVOR WAS GREAT AND WITH THE MODIFIED COOK TIME IS AN AWESOME RECIPE TO HAVE FOR A QUICK DESSERT.
Thank you for giving it a try 🙂
Hi ,Love the recipe, I just melted the butter and added it to the cake mix for a crumb topping, turned out great
Perfect!! Thank you so much!
I’m making this with Fresh peaches how many cups will i need and do i have to cook them first to get the juices?
Thanks
I haven’t tried using fresh, but you do need the juice, so yes, I would cook them a little to make a syrup. I’m not sure how many peaches it would take, but I am guessing one peach would be about one cup, so maybe 3-4 peaches?
Can the peach dump cake be made with peacHes in light syrup?
It sure could 🙂 Enjoy!!
I like your cake. Can you tell me how I can make a carrot dump cake using apple sauce? 0
I’m sorry I don’t have a recipe for carrot cake with applesauce. Have you tried Pinterest?
Super easy & delicious especially with vanilla ice cream!
Mmmm..yes!! Thank you so much!
I made this according to the recipe and added some mixed berries to the fruit. Came out wonderfule!!! will use this recipe again and again! Thanks for sharing.
Great idea! Glad you liked it 🙂 Thank you for letting me know!
The exact recipe my grandma made when I was
Little girl! She is long gone and none of us ‘cousins’ had her recipe. Turned out perfectly! The only thing I did DIFFERENT was wHip up some whipping cream with 1/4 tsp. Vanilla EXTRACT and 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Served a dollopover cooled cake. Thank You so much.
So glad you found this recipe 🙂 Thank you for trying it! I am happy you liked it!
This dump cake was aMazing. I love peach cobbler and this recipe was very easy and fast to make. My family loved it. I will DEFINITELY make this again!!?
I am glad to hear that! Thank you for letting me know that 🙂
A friend introduced me to this recipe many years ago, and we love it. She called it ” Lazy Girl Delight” lol, its quick, easy and delicious!
I like that name! Thanks for sharing that!
I have a question about the dump cake. Should i grease the pan because I made it in a tin pan and it was dry. Would it be better to use a glass dish?
This Is excellent just as described. The first time, I just followed the recipe, and Served it warm with He A v y cream. The second time I made it, I added 1/4 tsp almond Extract and a pinch of cinnamon. I served it at room temperature with ice cream. Both Versions were hits.
Both sound perfect!! Thank you for trying it!
This was the easiest recipe to make and was so Tasty!
it was delicious and incredibly easy. just two hints: I froze my stick of butter and the serrated knife. the butter came out grated and was easier to evenly cover the cake. i also mixed the cake mix well with the syrup so the whole dessert was moist after baking.
Thank you so much for sharing that 🙂
Please send me your book thanks
Omgoodness, I’m speechless, sooo good. Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas dinner, new year’s day celebration, etc.
My hubby loves peach cobbler, but I’ve never been a fan of the doughy texture that a Lot OF cobblers have. I made this TONIGHT and it was AMAZING!!! This is seriously delicious and so simple to make! We found a wonderful compromise with this dessert! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe.
this cake is full of flavor! this is definitely one of my family’s favorite cake recipes!
I made mine with Apples, BROWN Sugar Cinnamon and Raisins as my filling. It came out so delicious! Thanks for the Dump Cake Recipe…my now favorite! Especially now that Fall is here. A great holiday dessert!
That sounds perfect!! Thank you for letting me know! I’ll have to try!
I found it needed a LOT more peaches. I put in three cans!!
Truly a simple and delicious dessert that takes no effort. The canned peaches make it even faster to put together. We like to serve it with ice cream. Yum!
Was surpRised how good this turned out and so easy! Great recipe!
I am so glad you thought so 🙂 We love this! Thank you for letting me know!
I’m a sucker for warm fruity desserts like pies and cobblers. It’s currently peach season and I wanted to try a new recipe with them. My family loved this recipe. I cant wait to make it again when the weather cools down.
This peach dump cake was the best!! It was incredibly easy & so flavorful!! My husband loves peaches & thought this was the best dessert ever!
My grandma lived with us for a while before she passed away, and would always make dump cakes for dessert! I was feeling nostalgic, and decided to make this peach dump cake recipe, and it did not disappoint! For how simple the ingredients are, this cake tasted amazing.
Oh, I am so glad to hear. I am sorry about your grandma 🙂 Thank you for letting me know!
