Easy Peach Dump Cake Recipe
When I’m in the mood for a super delicious dessert that’s practically effortless, I pull this Peach Dump Cake recipe out of my back pocket!
Dump cakes are a ridiculously easy dessert, without any batter to make or chopping of ingredients. They’re typically made with canned fruit topped with cake mix and butter. This particular version incorporates peach pie filling with vanilla and cinnamon. It’s so good.
I just dump (a la “dump” cake) the ingredients into the baking dish, pop it in the oven, and I know I’ll have an awesome dessert to enjoy in under an hour.
Peach Dump Cake
Ingredients
- 2 cans peach pie filling, (21 oz. each)*
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 box yellow cake mix, vanilla, white, or even spice cake mix will also work
- ¾ cup salted butter, melted
- vanilla ice cream, for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Pour the peach pie filling into the baking dish. Add the vanilla and cinnamon. Stir to combine and smooth out the filling into an even layer.

- Pour the melted butter all over the top, and try to saturate as much of the cake mix as possible.

How to Store
Leftover peach dump cake can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just cover the baking dish with foil or transfer to an airtight container.
To reheat, pop a serving in the microwave for 30 seconds or so, until warm.
You can also freeze your dump cake for up to 3 months. Wrap in plastic wrap and again in foil. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
What to Serve With Peach Dump Cake
Peach dump cake is best served warm or at room temperature, but you want to let it sit for at least 15 minutes out of the oven before serving. Otherwise, it’s super hot!
I love to top my dump cake with vanilla ice cream. Some other yummy toppings are luscious whipped cream, and gooey caramel sauce, powdered sugar, or even white chocolate chips (then the chocolate chips get all melty on top!)
It’s peach season. Can I use fresh peaches?
I love fresh peaches, but they’re just not ideal for this particular dessert unless you’re willing to experiment. You need the gooeyness from the pie filling or syrup from canned peaches or this dessert will be dry. Fresh peaches would also need to be sliced very thin and cook longer, but then you run the risk of the topping over-browning.
Do I put flour over the butter when coating the pan so it doesn’t stick?
I’ve never done that – the spray alone seems to be enough.
yummy
I used canned peaches in heavy syrup but was concerned it wouldn’t be thick enough. So I strained the peaches and mixed 1/2 T of instant tapioca pudding granules, vanilla and cinnamon together to create a thicker syrup. It was perfect for this delicious dessert. Also added 1/3 cup chopped pecans to the peaches but would add more next time. The vanilla ice cream is a must!
Oh my goodness this was delicious. My husband made this dump cake put pecans on top and delicious! Sending this recipe to my sisters!
