What Is A Dump Cake?
Dump cakes are traditionally made with a canned fruit (like cherry pie filling, pineapple, etc…), a dry cake mix, and butter. As it bakes, the ingredients meld together to make a really great cobbler-like sweet treat. You just dump the ingredients in a pan by layering (no mixing) and the results are amazing!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
Here’s what you’ll need to make peach dump cake (the exact measurements and full recipe instructions are below in the easy to print recipe card):
- Butter – be sure to use regular, salted, full-fat butter and not margarine.
- Brown sugar – you’ll sprinkle this in the bottom of the pan before adding the other ingredients.
- Canned peaches in heavy syrup – do not drain the syrup from the can as it is needed as a part of the recipe.
- Yellow cake mix – use any brand of dry cake mix that you like.
How to Make Easy Peach Dump Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF degrees. Brush melted butter over the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of brown sugar over the butter in the pan.
- Dump the peach slices, including the canning juice, into the pan. Arrange the peaches evenly.
- Spread the cake mix over the peaches.
- Cut the 1 ½ sticks of butter into small pieces and place evenly over top of the cake mix.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Serve warm.
What to Serve with the Easy Peach Dump Cake
- Whipped cream – Fresh whipped cream or Cool Whip are wonderful on this peach dump cake.
- Ice cream – A scoop of vanilla ice cream or even peach ice cream is a great accompaniment.
- Peaches – add extra chopped peaches.
Tip: Love peaches and want to add more to the dump cake? Add a second can of peaches, just drain off the canning juice first. The canning juice of one can is just the right amount for the recipe, so when adding the extra can of peaches, make sure you get as much of the liquid drained as possible. Then you’ll have a wonderful double peach version of this recipe!
How to Store Leftovers
Keep the leftover peach dump cake covered with plastic or in an air tight food storage container. It can keep at room temperature, but is best when refrigerated. The dump cake will stay fresh for up to three days.

Do I dump the cake mix in dry
Yes
What size of can
I only can get canned sliced peaches in juice( 2 days before thanksgiving lol) can I use those and maybe add syrup to them???
Christie, yes that will work.
Can you use other fruit instead of peaches? Like Apple or Cherry?
Yes, any fruit works!
Wondering about using my home canned peaches? I can them in a light syrup. Also would this equal a quart?
PS I’m a mom to 4 boys!
Awesome Beth! Yes, the home canned would work great and will be the right amount!
