Peach dump cake ingredients
- Peaches – We used canned, but you could also use fresh peaches or peach pie filling.
- Cake mix – We used yellow cake mix, but you can substitute white cake mix also.
- Brown sugar – Dark or light brown sugar.
- Cinnamon – Ground.
- Butter – I like to use salted butter as a counter to the sugared peaches but unsalted butter works well too.
How do you make a peach dump cake? (Step-by-step)
⭐ First, pour the peaches into the bottom of a buttered casserole dish. (You could also use our super amazing recipe for pan release!)
⭐ Next, sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the peaches, then sprinkle the cake mix over the peaches. Top with slices of butter.
⭐ Then, bake until the cake is golden brown and bubbly.
Preparation and serving
Can you make peach dump cake ahead of time?
You can prepare the cobbler up to a few hours ahead of time and store in the fridge until ready to bake, or you can bake up to a few days ahead and serve cold later or reheat in the oven before serving.
To warm the cobbler, cover with foil and place in a 350F oven for about 15 minutes, until warmed through.
Can I use fresh peaches?
You can totally use fresh peaches for peach dump cake! It makes it a little less dumpy and a little more traditional cobbler-ish, but it will be super delish. If you intend on leaving the skin on, I would dice the peaches small for best texture.
Can I use pie filling instead of canned peaches?
You can absolutely use a large can of peach pie filling instead of the canned peaches! One can is typically enough, but if you like an extra fruity cobbler, go ahead and use two.
How do you serve peach dump cake?
You can serve dump cake hot out of the oven or chilled. Top it with ice cream (vanilla is our favorite!), whipped cream, or just enjoy as is. If we’re out of ice cream and I don’t want to go through the motions of making whipped cream, sometimes I’ll pour a little cold heavy cream over top. Yum.
Peach dump cake cobbler variations
🟢 Don’t have peaches? Try it with other types of canned fruit or even a canned fruit cocktail.
🟢 Need to make it even simpler? Use pie filling instead of peaches + sugar.
🟢 Preparing it for a crowd? Double the recipe and make it in a roasting pan.
Leftovers and storage
Should you refrigerate peach dump cake?
Leftovers should be covered and refrigerated for best results. If left at room temperature, they should be consumed within about 24 hours. I suspect that won’t be a problem!
How long does peach dump cake last?
Peach dump cake will last in the refrigerator for 3 – 4 days after baking. Cover tightly with a lid or foil before storing.
Can you freeze a dump cake?
You can freeze the cooked dish for several months! Allow the dump cake to cool, then cover and store in the freezer. I like to let mine cool for an hour at room temp and then chill for several hours in the refrigerator before transferring to the freezer. This will reduce the amount of moisture that is drawn out of the dish.
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven by covering with foil and baking at 350F oven for about 15 minutes, until warmed through. If the dish is still partially frozen, you may need to add time.
Make it a complete meal with our recipe suggestions!
Peach cobbler is a classic spring and summer recipe and goes great with dishes like cold tuna pasta salad, barbecue chicken pizza (try grilling it!), and chicken tostadas with avocado. To drink make a batch of frosted lemonade, some strawberry lime slushies, or a pitcher of grapefruit margaritas!

Tools we love
- Casserole dish with lid – I’ve had this casserole dish for years and it’s one of my favorites. I love being able to pop the lid on and stick the leftovers into the fridge easily!
- Large serving spoons – There’s something about a nice serving utensil that makes me happy. Is that weird? I’m okay with it.

I made this cake and was very disappointed. Most of the cake nix was still dry and unincorporated. I ended up throwing it away. I would hate it one star
I agree, I used to have a similar recipe that called for water poured on top ( lost it) it has to have a liquid, the recipe I had also called to sprinkle a box of peach jello over the peaches, amazing, donāt remember how much water ( or other liquid)
so very easy and delicious I will certainly make it with other fruits
the reason you had dry cake mix, is you didn’t have enough butter on top or you drained to much juice out of your peaches. I have always slice butter for top but also melt the butter and pour all onto so its covered. this is excellent recipe, fast, cost-effective
I baked it for 45 minutes and since I still had dry cake mix on top, I incorporated it in with the rest of the pan with a fork and baked it an additional five minutes
How many fresh peaches can I use to make this cake. Iāve got lots of fresh peaches.
one can is roughly 1 3/4 cups of slice peaches š
what size can of peaches did you use?
Same problem dry cake mix on top i hollowed the directions perfectly but it did not bake. I think melted butter poured over would be better and at heady 2 sticks. The bit thst cooked was good so there is hope I guess
Fantastic recipe!! I didn’t have peaches so I substituted 3 cans of pears in juice. Sooooo easy and SOOOO YUMMERS!
I’m diabetic so I switched out the brown sugar for Splenda and added a pinch more cinnamon and it was fantastic.
The juice from the peaches made it super watery. I made this exactly as the recipe said, and it looked like the pictures exactly. Once baked, the cake mix topping was dry and tasted like uncooked cake. I wish I liked this but it sure didnāt turn out for me.
Great recipe. I used fresh but frozen from last year peaches with juice. I did add a little more brown sugar than recipe called for. Only baked 30-35 minutes. Delicious! A little ice cream or whipped cream and then a sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish.
