4-Ingredient Peach Dump Cake
This 4-Ingredient Peach Dump Cake is the ultimate shortcut peach dessert. Made with canned peaches, peach pie filling, yellow cake mix, and butter, this easy dump-and-bake recipe creates gooey peach layers topped with a buttery golden crust that's part cobbler, part cake, and completely irresistible.
Equipment
- 9x13-inch casserole dish
- rubber spatula
- microwave-safe bowl
- measuring cups
- Serving Spoon
Ingredients
- 1 can peach pie filling
- 1 can canned peach slices, drained
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
- Pour the peach pie filling into the casserole dish, then add the drained peach slices on top. Spread the fruit into an even layer using a spatula.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peach layer, covering the fruit completely. Do not stir.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl using 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until fully melted.
- Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix layer, tilting the dish gently if needed to help cover any dry spots.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Allow the dump cake to cool slightly before scooping into serving bowls.
- Serve warm topped with whipped cream if desired.
Notes
Do not stir the layers together, as the distinct fruit and cake layers create the signature dump cake texture. Drain the canned peach slices well before adding them to prevent a soggy dessert. Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix to avoid dry patches. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and reheat in the oven or microwave before serving. Top with whipped cream for the perfect finishing touch.
