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.

I have made this several times before. One day I realized I had no vanilla cake mix. All I had was devil’s food. So I used that. It was surprisingly good!
YUM YUM PEACHY
I have real GA peaches in the freezer. I will be trying this. I will add a little sugar to peaches as it thaws out which will make its own sweet and delicious syrup (also makes a good peaches and cream dessert). Thanks for sharing.
