This Peach Dump Cake recipe is easy as pie but twice as tasty! Just dump some luscious peaches into a baking dish, sprinkle cake mix on top like a sugary fairy godmother, and dot it with buttery goodness. It’s so good, you might just want to dump all your other recipes and stick with this sweet sensation.

Love a good cake mix hack? Honestly, same. Be sure to try my cherry lazy cake, strawberry poke cake, and pumpkin dump cake recipes!

Why You’ll Love This Cake Mix Cobbler

  • Quick and Easy: This recipe is what we call “lazy cake” or, in other words, a dump and bake. No mixing required!
  • Easy to Customize: Try it with any other canned fruit or cake mix flavor!
  • Perfect Fall Treat: The cinnamon and nutmeg add the perfect finishing touch!

We grew up making lazy cakes for all of our celebrations. My 4-Ingredient cherry dump cake has been a family favorite for YEARS, but we decided it was time to mix things up. This dump peach cobbler used basics from the original recipe with a few key changes. Peaches instead of cherries and the addition of a brown sugar and cinnamon topping.

If you’ve never had a dump cake before, it tastes so close to a cobbler- a cheat cobbler that is. It’s made with a base of canned fruit and dry cake mix that is dumped into a pan and baked. No stirring required.

It’s a go-to time saving dessert that everyone should save to their recipe box!

Peach Dump Cake Ingredients:

You don’t need much to get this peach dump cake recipe to the oven. In fact, most of these ingredients are pantry staples for any baker!

  • Canned Peaches: We have tried every different brand of peach and they all taste equally delicious.
  • Cake Mix: opt for a classic yellow or butter cake for this specific recipe.
  • Butter: Salted is my fave, but unsalted will work too.
  • Brown Sugar: Brown sugar brings in an almost caramel like flavor with the added molasses, which pairs amazingly well with the peaches and cinnamon.
  • Cinnamon and Nutmeg: Just a touch which compliments the peaches perfectly.

Peach Dump Cake Recipe with Cake Mix

This recipe is so perfect for every occasion. Not only is it a snap to whip up, the flavor is explosively delicious!

  1. PREP: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a 9×13 pan by adding a light mist of baking spray.
  2. LAYER: Pour the peaches into the prepared pan, spreading them into an even layer. Sprinkle the dry cake mix directly on top of the peaches. No need to stir. Dot butter over the top of the cake mix, covering as much of the top as possible.
  3. TOPPING: Mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the top of the butter. Remember, don’t mix it.
  4. BAKE: Bake 45 minutes, or until the top of the cake is a light golden brown. Serve as is or topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
