Indulge in the delight of a classic dessert with our Peach Cobbler Dump Cake, a recipe that’s as easy as it is delicious. With just four simple ingredients, this dessert is the best way to celebrate the juicy peaches of the season or enjoy the sunny peachy flavor any time of year.
The simplicity of this easy peach dump cake recipe is one of its greatest strengths. You’ll start by layering canned peach pie filling in a baking dish, and the juicy peaches create a luscious base that’s impossible to resist.
Ingredient Notes
- Peaches (you can use fresh peaches, but you’ll want to add heavy syrup if you do)
- Yellow Cake Mix
- Butter
- Ground Cinnamon
- Vanilla Ice Cream (optional topping)
How to make Peach Cobbler Dump Cake:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Dump peaches in bottom of a 9×13″ pan.
- Sprinkle dry cake mix on top of peaches.
- Cut butter into small pieces and place on top of cake mix.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake!
Storing and Other Tips
Leftover Peach Cobbler Dump Cake, if you have any, can be stored in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap and kept in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
We love to serve this warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. It’s the perfect dessert!
To save time, some of our readers have melted the butter and poured it over the top of the dry mix – either way will work just fine.
If you are having problems with the cake being too dry, before you bake the cake, press the cake mix down into the peaches to help combine the dry mix with some of the moisture with the peaches.
A dump cake is the simplest dessert you can make – it usually has a base of a cake mix plus fruit filling.
You dump all the ingredients into the pan, stir them together (in the pan! No bowl needed!), and bake.
This cake can be made year-round because it uses canned peaches (it doesn’t get any easier than that!) and a simple cake mix. No more waiting for peach season! If you want to use fresh peaches, make sure you have heavy syrup on hand.

Cherry pie filling
Blueberry pie filling
Mixed berry pie filling
Apple pie filling
Blackberry pie filling

I actually just used a baking dish and baked it in the oven. Just follow the directions and it will walk you through it. Thanks!
I think you could definitely do this in a crockpot! Let us know how it goes!
I have never tried it with fresh peaches so I am not positive how it would turn out. My only concern is that it would be too dry because you pour in the whole can of peaches AND the juice. If you used fresh peaches, I would add some sort of liquid so it wouldn't come out dry and crumbly. Sorry I am not much help!
I will say that the Six sister's recipe is as close as any I've ever come across to what she made! ;o)
Just wondering if you used the fresh peaches and how it turn out. I'm thinking of adding sugar to my sliced peaches to get the liquid needed. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thank you
Drain the liquid off te peaches into a bowl, mix a few tablespoons of flour and a tsp or two of cinnamon into the juice before pouring over the peaches. Then dump your dry cake mix and top with butter. It gives the bottom layer that creamy, tangy peach cobbler texture.
An equally awesome twist on this is 2 cans of strawberry pie filling with a chocolate cake mix! We call it chocolate covered strawberry cobbler.
One question...do the leftovers need to be refrigerated?
