Dump cakes are a ridiculously easy dessert, without any batter to make or chopping up ingredients. They’re typically made with canned fruit topped with cake mix and butter. This particular version incorporates peach pie filling and also some vanilla and cinnamon. It’s so good.
Just dump (a la “dump” cake) the ingredients into the baking dish, pop it in the oven, and you’ll have an awesome dessert to enjoy in under an hour.
Ingredients Needed
Just 5 ingredients go into this peach pie filling dump cake.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)
- Peach pie filling – Our star ingredient. 2, 21 ounce cans.
- Vanilla extract – Some vanilla always make desserts more delicious.
- Cinnamon – Adds a nice warm flavor.
- Yellow cake mix – For the topping.
- Melted butter – Helps create the crisp, golden top.
Recipe Variations
Here are some ways to customize it.
- Switch up the cake mix topping. Vanilla, white, or even spice cake mix can be used instead of yellow, if preferred.
- Add in some nuts. Finely chopped walnuts, almonds, or pecans can be added to the filling for some textural crunch and another flavor level.
- Include some caramel sauce. A drizzle of our caramel sauce recipe in this dessert is amazing.
- Make it with canned peaches. You can substitute two 15.25 ounce cans of sliced peaches in heavy syrup for the peach pie filling, if necessary. The baked fruit filling just won’t be as thick and gooey.

Serving Suggestions
Peach dump cake is best served warm or at room temperature, but you do 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 whipped cream, caramel sauce, powdered sugar, or even white chocolate chips (then the chocolate chips get all melty on top!)
How to Store, Freeze, and Reheat
- Storing leftovers. 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.
- Reheat. To reheat, pop a serving in the microwave for 30 seconds or so, until warm.
- Freeze. 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.

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!
