A Quick And Easy Peach Cake
I love the name “dump cake” because it’s almost comically accurate; you’re literally dumping everything into one pan, sticking it in the oven and calling it a day! This dump cake recipe uses canned peaches and yellow cake mix with cinnamon.
As much as I love baking from scratch, sometimes a girl needs a recipe that requires little to no mental or physical effort–and as few dishes to wash as possible, if you please. This dump cake checks all those boxes.
With only four ingredients and no mixing bowl required, you’ll be in and out of the kitchen in no time when Peach Dump Cake is on your dessert menu.
A Great Recipe To Make With The Kids
This recipe is a great one to make with the kids. Between it’s simple ingredients and limited measuring, it’s one they can really feel successful with. The cake you see here was actually made by my ten year old daughter.
Best of all, it’s one of the tastiest easy peach dessert recipes I’ve tried. Sweet and juicy peaches are made even better with the addition of cinnamon and the buttery cake crumb. In my opinion, this dump cake is the perfect blend of cake and cobbler. Plus, any dessert that you can use as a vehicle for ice cream is going to be a guaranteed hit at my house!
Peach Cobbler Dump Cake
This dump cake reminds me a lot of Peach Cobbler or a peach crisp. It’s the kind of cake you eat in a big bowl with a spoon. Add some vanilla ice cream on top or a hearty helping of whipped cream and you have a dessert that amounts to summer in a bowl.
It may taste like summer, but since this Peach Cobbler Dump Cake uses canned peaches you can make it all year long. No need to wait for peach season to enjoy this peachy keen dessert.
Ingredients At A Glance
You only need four ingredients to make Peach Dump Cake. I promise. Four. Really!
- Canned peaches — Look for the kind in heavy syrup. You can also substitute peach pie filling here.
- Yellow cake mix — White cake mix can substitute if necessary but I prefer the taste of the yellow cake here.
- Butter — I recommend unsalted but salted will work too. Make sure to soften it before adding to the recipe.
- Cinnamon — The final touch that makes the peach flavor shine even brighter!
How to Make Peach Dump Cake
- Dump peaches in their syrup into a greased cake pan. Add the cinnamon to the box of dry cake mix, then sprinkle the mixture over the peaches evenly.
- Drop pats of butter over everything.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the cake mix topping looks golden brown. Enjoy warm!
Keep a can of peaches and cake mix on hand and you’ll be ready to make a delicious peach dump cake at the drop of a hat!

I also add chopped pecans over the top. I have also added a small can of peaches that I drained to the peaches to add more peaches I have made this for the last 20 years. We love it
Leshondra says
do you use all the ingredients on the cake box the mix up the cake mix and poor the mix over the peaches or do you just poor the cake mix out the box over the peaches and then put butter and cinnamon on top
Christi Johnstone says
As stated in the recipe instructions, you sprinkle the cake mix over the peaches. You can also refer to the multiple photos in the post for reference.
Chris says
Hang on! You just put the powder cake mix on top of peaches? You don’t add any liquid?
Christi Johnstone says
Yes, just like the instructions state, and what is shown in the photos.
fran says
Nothing is said regarding the size can of peaches, in or non-syrup, or what to do with the syrup. Poor recipe description.
Christi Johnstone says
Fran, I’m a bit confused, the recipe states “29 oz canned peaches, drained – two 15oz cans work perfectly as well” and “Canned Peaches (canned in juice preferred over syrup)”. So actually, both things are specifically noted…
Heidi says
Hello Fran. Yes it does state which kind of canned peaches to use.
