Here’s a quick and easy Peach Dump Cake—sweet, fruity, and perfect for a simple dessert 🍑
Peach Dump Cake
Ingredients
- 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup, drained slightly
- 1 box yellow cake mix (15–18 oz)
- 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- Optional: ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven: 350°F / 175°C. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer peaches: Spread the drained peaches evenly in the bottom of the dish.
- Sprinkle cake mix: Pour dry cake mix evenly over the peaches.
- Add nuts and cinnamon: Sprinkle nuts and cinnamon on top if using.
- Pour butter: Drizzle melted butter evenly over the cake mix.
- Bake: 40–45 minutes until top is golden and edges are bubbly.
- Cool slightly: Let sit 10–15 minutes before serving.
Tips
- For extra gooeyness, don’t drain all the syrup from the peaches.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic pairing.
- Use fresh peaches in season; toss them with a little sugar and cornstarch to mimic canned texture.
Variations
- Mixed berry dump cake: Replace peaches with mixed berries.
- Apple cinnamon dump cake: Use sliced apples, cinnamon, and a touch of nutmeg.
- Chocolate twist: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top before baking.
This dessert is super easy, minimal prep, and always a crowd-pleaser—perfect for last-minute gatherings.
I can also give a healthier version with less sugar and oat topping if you want.
