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.
