Peach Cobbler Dump Cake

Peach Cobbler Dump Cake is a quick and easy dessert made with cake mix, canned peaches, and butter. It bakes into a golden, bubbling treat perfect for family gatherings or weeknight desserts.

I wanted a dessert that looked impressive but did not take hours in the kitchen. This Peach Cobbler Dump Cake caught my attention because it uses simple pantry staples yet delivers a warm and comforting result. The golden topping and bubbling peach filling make it feel like a special treat without the effort.

When I baked it for the first time, the smell filled the kitchen and my family gathered around before it even came out of the oven. We cut into it while it was still warm, added a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and it was gone in no time. The mix of soft fruit, crisp topping, and sweet syrup was exactly what we needed.

It is now one of my go-to recipes when I want to make something that feels homey and welcoming. Whether for Sunday dessert or when friends visit, this cake is always met with empty plates and requests for seconds.

Questions You May Have About This Recipe

Do I have to use canned peaches?
No, you can use fresh or frozen peaches. If using fresh, peel and slice them first.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can bake it a day ahead and warm it up before serving.

What size pan should I use?
A 9×13 inch baking dish works best for even cooking.

Can I use another cake mix flavor?
Yes, yellow cake mix is classic, but white or spice cake mix also works well.

Do I need to stir the ingredients?
No, the “dump” method works best. The layers bake into a cobbler-like texture on their own.
