This peach dump cake recipe could not get any easier! It’s even better than I remember my grandma’s peach cobbler tasting as a kid. You won’t believe how easy it is to prepare this old fashioned dessert!
My easy cherry dump cake, apple dump cake, and cherry pineapple dump cakes are reader faves.
It’s why I decided that it was time to share a few of my other dump cake recipes.

This peach dump cake version is my husband’s favorite type of dump cake.
It tastes like a classic peach cobbler, but I don’t have to waste any extra time in the kitchen to make it!
Peach Dump Cake Recipe
What could be easier than a cake mix, butter, brown sugar, and a can of peaches?
This is a wonderful dessert to serve after Sunday dinner, but I’ve even made it on Thanksgiving!
How to Make Peach Cobbler Dump Cake
Prepare your dish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. With the 1 tablespoon of your butter, grease the bottom and sides of a 9 x 13 baking dish. Evenly spread the 2 tablespoons brown sugar on the bottom of the pan over the butter.
Add the peaches
Dump the peaches including the juice into the pan, spread evenly.
Add the cake mix
Spread the cake mix evenly over the peaches.
Top with butter and bake
Cut the 1 ½ sticks of butter into small pieces and place evenly over top of the cake mix. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown.
Crissy’s Tips
- Use quality butter for the best results. I love Kerrygold butter, but any high-quality butter will help enhance the flavor of your crumble!
- One of the best tips I’ve gotten recently is to add the butter all over the top cut into chunks. In the past, I’ve drizzled melted butter on top, but the method as pictured here really helps evenly distribute the butter on the top of your peach dump cake.
- Can you use a different type of cake mix? Sure! I have only tried the yellow cake mix in this recipe, but you can certainly mix it up and try different flavors if you’re feeling adventurous.
- Don’t forget the vanilla ice cream! Serving this warm with a big scoop of old fashioned vanilla ice cream sends this peach cobbler dump cake recipe over the TOP!
I hope you love my easy peach dump cake recipe!

Has anyone tried with a spice cake mix? Wondering, don’t want to lose the peach flavor with too much spice. If no one has tried I’ll let you know how it works….
I like fresh fruit, instead of canned. I also don’t use boxes, don’t like preservatives. It’s super easy, and cheaper, to put 2 1/3 cups flour,
1 1/4 cups sugar, 1 tbsp. baking powder, 3/4 tsp. salt in a bowl, whisk it together and spread it over. I only dot 3/4 tbsp butter over. Depending on the fruit, you may want to add sugar, cinnamon, maybe some lemon, sometimes cornstarch to help thicken. Just another way you might like to try. 🙂
Like the no box option, thanks. Is there enough liquid or do you add anything?
Thx
To me, there’s enough liquid because fruits lose their juices while baking. Adding lemon juice and dotting with butter adds just enough, in my opinion. There’s also tons of recipes out there for making your own pie filling, which can also be delicious. It’s fun to experiment!
What about if you have fresh peaches?
This was simple to make and delicious! I did gave to go get a can of peaches. Can I use pie filling next time?
This was very easy to make and you can use any kind of can fruit taste so good don’t forget to and the ice cream
All of these dump cakes sound delicious. Do you put the cake mix on dry or do you prepare the mix according to instructions?
it goes on dry!
I like how easy it is to prepare a dump cake and using Butter Golden cake mix, then sprinkling halved pecans on top.
