Crock Pot Peach Dump Cake Ingredients

Making this easy peach cobbler is a straightforward process that requires only a few ingredients. This simple list keeps the prep time short and the cleanup even shorter. 

Peach Crockpot Dump Cake Substitutions and Additions

If you need to adjust the crockpot peach cobbler recipe based on what you have available or your dietary needs, here are some suggestions. 

Remember, we’ve developed this recipe to work perfectly in your slow cooker. Any changes might alter the taste and texture of your cake, so use these substitutions carefully, at your own discretion.

Canned Peaches: If you can’t find 29-ounce cans, use three 15.25-ounce cans and just drain one. You can also use fresh or frozen peaches if you prefer, though this might change the sweetness and moisture levels. If using fresh peaches, consider adding a bit of sugar to replicate the syrup’s sweetness.

For a sweeter taste, you can use peach pie filling instead.

Yellow Cake Mix: Feel free to use any flavor box of cake mix, but if you can’t use yellow, we prefer a white cake mix. Any brand will work, so use what you have on hand. If you’re avoiding gluten, a gluten-free cake mix can be used, though it may slightly change the texture.

Salted Butter: If you only have unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the mix. We don’t recommend using butter alternatives as they tend to add too much water to the recipe. Use them at your own discretion.

Ground Nutmeg: This spice is optional. You can also try using cinnamon or allspice instead. These alternatives will still give a nice flavor without drastically changing the dish.

Additions: For a more decadent dessert, sprinkle some chopped nuts like pecans or almonds, raisins, or dried cranberries over the top before cooking.

How To Make Crock Pot Peach Dump Cake

This Crock-Pot Peach Dump Cake is a breeze to prepare. We call this peach cobbler a ‘dump cake’ because you can just dump the ingredients in the pot and cook! The easiest dessert for parties and dinner guests, it keeps the oven free and takes only 10 minutes to prepare.

Here’s how to make it:

STEP ONE: Lightly spray your CrockPot with nonstick cooking spray. This step prevents the cake from sticking to the sides and makes cleanup easier.

STEP TWO: Dump the 29-ounce can of undrained sliced peaches and the 15.25-ounce can of drained sliced peaches into the CrockPot.

STEP THREE: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the dry yellow cake mix, melted butter, and ground nutmeg. Stir until the ingredients are well combined. The butter helps create a rich, crumbly topping, while the nutmeg adds a hint of warmth.

PRO TIP: Ensure the butter is melted but cooled slightly before mixing it with the cake mix. This helps the mixture blend smoothly and evenly.

STEP FOUR: Evenly sprinkle the buttered cake mix over the canned peaches in the CrockPot. Make sure to spread it out to cover all the peaches so it cooks evenly.

STEP FIVE: Place the lid securely on the CrockPot and cook on high for 2 hours. 

PRO TIP: Try not to peek! It’s best to keep the lid on during cooking to maintain the heat and ensure the cake cooks evenly.

STEP SIX: After 2 hours, check the cake for doneness. The top should be golden brown and the peaches should be bubbling. If it needs more time, continue cooking in 15-minute increments until it reaches your desired texture.

STEP SEVEN: Serve the peach dump cake warm. If you prefer, you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of thawed whipped topping. 

PRO TIP: For a slightly crispier topping, you can place a paper towel under the CrockPot lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This helps absorb excess moisture and crisp up the top layer.

Troubleshooting

We tested our slow cooker peach dump cake thoroughly to make sure it would work perfectly in your home kitchen. Since every appliance operates a bit differently, we know you may run into trouble.

Here are the best tips from our recipe developers to make sure you make the perfect dessert:

• Take your time draining the can of peaches. Pour the peaches into a colander and allow the liquids to run off for 2-3 minutes. Give them a gentle shake from time to time. This ensures you don’t add too much liquid to your CrockPot.
• If you open the lid of the CrockPot during the cooking time, it may end up taking longer to cook, as the heat will escape each time the lid is removed.
• We don’t recommend a CrockPot liner for this recipe. But if you want to make clean-up easier, just spray it well with cooking spray.

How To Serve Your Peach Dessert

Once your dump cake with peaches is ready, the real fun begins—serving it up! Here are some ideas to help you present this easy crockpot peach cobbler.

Classic and Simple: Serve the Crockpot Peach Dump Cake warm, straight from the CrockPot. You can allow guests to serve themselves, just provide a large serving spoon and dessert dishes.

With Toppings: A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream (or Cool Whip) complements the warm, gooey cake perfectly. You can also add small chunks of ripe peaches to the top, and give the cake a sprinkle of nutmeg or a little cinnamon.

With Fresh Fruit: Top your cake with fresh sliced fruits like berries or sliced apples.

Incorporated into Breakfast: Turn your leftover Peach Dump Cake into a breakfast or brunch treat. Serve it with a side of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of honey.

With Caramel Sauce: Drizzle warm salted caramel sauce over the top for an extra layer of sweetness. 

On-The-Go Serving: Pack the cake into individual containers for an outdoor picnic or to send in lunch boxes.

These serving suggestions offer various ways to enjoy your Crockpot Peach Dump Cake, whether you’re hosting a dinner party, having a casual family meal, or looking for a creative breakfast option.

How To Store Leftovers

We recommend making this dish fresh if you’re serving it to guests. However, if you have leftovers, you can definitely store them to enjoy again! Here’s how:

IN THE FRIDGE: Store any leftover Crockpot Peach Dump Cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to three days.

IN THE FREEZER: If you want to keep your cake for longer, you can freeze it. Allow the cake to cool completely, then transfer it to a freezer-safe container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. When ready to eat, thaw it in the fridge overnight.

HOW TO REHEAT: To reheat the dump cake, use the microwave for convenience. Place a portion on a microwave-safe plate and heat for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat it in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F, cover the cake with aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out, and heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until warm.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 29 ounces sliced peaches in heavy syrup, do not drain (We used Del Monte brand (822g)
• 15.25 ounces sliced peaches in heavy syrup, drained (We used Del Monte brand) (432g)
• 15.25 ounces dry yellow cake mix (We used Pillsbury brand) (432g)
• 16 tablespoons salted butter, melted and cooled
• ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional

Instructions

 

• Lightly spray a 5-6 quart crockpot with nonstick cooking spray.
• Add the 29-ounce can of undrained and 15.25-ounce can of drained sliced peaches to the crockpot.
• Add the dry cake mix, melted and cooled butter and ground nutmeg to a medium size (2-3 quart) mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
• Evenly sprinkle the buttered cake mix over the canned peaches. Secure the crockpot lid and cook on High for 2 hours. Serve the peach dump cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or thawed whipped topping. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

• We use canned peaches to make this recipe fast and easy, but using all the syrup makes the dessert too watery. Please pay close attention, as you will drain one can of peaches, but use the syrup from the other can.
• Ensure the butter is melted but cooled slightly before mixing it with the cake mix. This helps the mixture blend smoothly and evenly.
• Try not to peek while your cobbler cooks. It’s best to keep the lid on during cooking to maintain the heat and ensure the cake cooks evenly.
• For a slightly crispier topping, you can place a paper towel under the CrockPot lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This helps absorb excess moisture and crisp up the top layer.
