Never Think About What to Make for Dinner for the Next Two Months with My Lazy Cooking Bundle
This old-fashioned peach dump cake is quick and easy dessert you’ll absolutely love. A dump cake is a cake made by dumping the ingredients, which typically include store-bought cake mix, directly in a pan before baking. You don’t have to worry about mixing or adding lots of complicated steps or ingredients.
For this recipe, we used canned peaches along with cinnamon and cake mix to create a bubbly and warm dessert. It’s the best when served fresh and hot out of the oven with cold vanilla ice cream scooped on top. If you’re looking for more super easy desserts, you’ll love our blueberry cobbler and our blackberry cobbler as well. Make sure you also our cherry dump cake – it’s a reader favorite!

Variations
Now, you can definitely shake it up a bit if you want. Our recipe calls for canned peaches. I have friends who prefer to use fresh peaches or frozen. Just keep in mind, you need the syrup as well, or the recipe will turn out dry instead of warm and bubbly after baking.
You might want to add a dash of brown sugar or nutmeg in. You could also make it with almonds, with pecans, or with coconut in the crust.
If you like to experiment with different flavors, you could also add in blueberry or another fruit as well.
You can also shake this peach dump cake recipe up a bit: try adding brown sugar, or nutmeg. You could also top with coconut or with almonds or with pecans.
How to Make a Peach Dump Cake
This homemade dessert is so easy to bake from scratch in only a few minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray. You’ll want to make sure to use the 9×13 pan and not a 8×8 pan so that you have enough room for everything.
Dump one can of peaches into the baking dish. Drain the liquid from the other can and add the peaches to the baking dish.
Sprinkle cinnamon evenly over the peaches.
Then, sprinkle cake mix evenly over the peaches. I recommend using vanilla cake mix but I know some prefer yellow.
Pour butter evenly over the cake mix. Do not stir.
How Long to Bake
Bake your peach dump cake in preheated oven for 50-55 minutes until the top is golden.
Does Dump Cake Need to be Refrigerated?
I recommend storing in the fridge if you have leftovers. Which honestly, doesn’t always happen in our house! 😉
While I do love dump cake served hot from the oven with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, I have to admit, I think it’s delicious served chilled as well. It changes the texture a little and it’s almost like enjoying a whole new dessert.
I hope your gang enjoys this peach dump cake as much as we do! Baked to a perfect, golden crust, this simple and quick Southern favorite is a crowd-pleasing decadent dessert you’ll want to make over and over again.

Hello. I’m new to this, so this is probably a stupid question to most, but here goes… do I make the. Cake mix as directed on the box, or do I just dump the dry mix on the peaches?? Thank you!!
You’ll dump the dry cake mix for this recipe, you don’t mix it up. 🙂 Enjoy!!
I have a lot extra juice on the bottom. Is this normal?
So did I. Next time I will use less than an entire can of peach syrup. But otherwise it came out great!!
How can I prevent dry powered cake mix after it is cooked
If you’re using the right amount of butter, you shouldn’t have any dry spots. If you do, add a little more butter to that section. Enjoy!
Do you cover it with foil when you bake it?
No, I don’t! Enjoy 🙂
I made this using frozen peaches and yellow cake mix. It was delicious! I made my own syrup and added brown sugar, which made it pretty sweet so I will omit the brown sugar next time around. Nevertheless, a HUGE hit in my household. Thanks!
I freeze my butter and grate it on top of the cake mix. Gets all over rather than pooling in all the dips and crevasse. Works like a charm
Genius idea!!!!
Hi, just read your comment about using frozen peaches, I plan on trying that this weekend, how many oz or cups of frozen peaches did you use and how did you make the juice? Thanks, should be yummy! Nancy B
Would this work with sugar free peaches and cake mix?
It should! Enjoy 🙂
How do you make the syrup for fresh peaches?
Hi, Larry – you’ll want to peel the peaches and then sprinkle two or three tablespoons of sugar over them and let them sit about half an hour. Enjoy!
How about crock pot and stevia?
Instead of throwing out the peach juice from the second can I saved it and will use it with fresh peaches the next time.
How many fresh peaches would you use for this?
Each can is about three cups or so of peaches, so two cans would equal about 6ish cups. Enjoy!
Delicious! This will definitely be made again, my family and friends loved it 😋
I love it
I made this recipe at work and everybody loved it I tweaked it a little and added sugar and nutmeg🥰
But next time I make it I won’t add any sugar being that the cake mix was sweet enough
I made this recipe this morning, I have made a dump cake before in a slow cooker, the oven is must better, it gives it a crisp top. This is delicious and I highly recommend it.
