Dump Cakes
While this peach dump cake is my most popular, I have quite a few dump cakes here on the blog. While there is some variation in the directions, they are all prepared in a very similar way.
To make a dump cake, pie filling or syrup packed fruit is sprinkled with dry cake mix, then oil or melted butter is drizzled on top. The dessert is then baked until the crust topping is fully cooked.
Some like my Caramel Apple Dump Cake and Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake with Fudge also have another layer between the fruit base and boxed cake mix layer. These are particularly good with ice cream!
How to Make a Peach Dump Cake
Let’s make a peach dump cake. It’s super easy and printable recipe card can be found below.
The recipe makes 8-10 servings.
Prep Time: 5 mins Bake Time: 55 mins Total time: 1 hour
Simple Ingredients Needed
Here is everything you will need to make a regular peach dump cake with canned fruit.
- 1 can of peaches in heavy syrup or peach pie filling (if you are a hardcore peach lover, you may use 2 cans of peaches… just drain the second can of syrup)
- 1 box yellow cake mix (If you don’t have a box of yellow cake mix on hand, white, butter or vanilla will do. Just don’t be mixing flavors that will clash.)
- ¾ cup butter (while butter will taste best in the recipe, you can use oil if you prefer)
You will also need
- 9×13 baking dish
- cooking spray or Crisco to coat baking dish

Directions
First preheat oven to 350 F (180°C). Then cut the butter into chunks and melt. Use the microwave in 30 second intervals, or melt in a small pan over low-medium heat.
Coat your casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray or grease the dish.
Dump in your canned peaches in syrup. Spread the fruit filling out. If you opt to use two cans of sliced peaches, make sure to drain one of them.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top of the peaches and spread out.
Pour melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix layer. Cover as much surface as you can, without getting too fussy.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes to 55 minutes. When top is bubbly and edges are golden brown it is done. The fruit bubbles up and cooks the dry mix from the bottom up, while the melted butter works it’s way down.
Cool for about 10 minutes to serve the peach dump cake warm or cool to room temperature. Top individual servings with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top or a big dollop of whipped cream.
How Long Does Peach Dump Cake Last?
The dump cake is good for a 3-4 days in the refrigerator, but then it should be tossed. [ref] Like a pie, this should not be left out at room temperature for extended periods of time. If it is all getting eaten in an afternoon, there is no need to chill it.
To refrigerate, store leftovers in an airtight container or place the casserole dish in the fridge covered well with plastic wrap. This should be done promptly after the dump cake has cooled (within 2 hours).
