Dump cake peach cobbler… oh, I swear if I had a dollar for every time someone asked me how the heck you make it, I’d have a freezer full of peaches. You ever just crave something sweet but absolutely don’t want to peel, slice, pit, measure, whatever, for hours? That was me last week. I needed dessert and I needed it fast. So, I made this peach cobbler dump cake, and honestly, it was so dang good it felt like cheating… in the best possible way. If you want something ridiculously easy that brings everyone running to the kitchen, stick around.
Peach Cobbler Dump Cake Variations
The thing I love about this recipe? You can mess around with it a hundred ways and it’ll still taste like a five-star restaurant dessert. If you’re using canned peaches, just pop ’em open and dump them in. Got fresh peaches? Even better. Toss them with a bit of sugar and cinnamon first. If you want extra crunch (you know that crispy edge?), throw in some chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking.
Sometimes, I switch up the box cake mix. Yellow cake is the classic, but I’m not above using vanilla or even spice cake if that’s what’s left in the pantry. Some folks love to drizzle melted butter all over the cake mix, while others cut cold butter into thin pats and plop those across the top. Both ways work. Really, just do what brings you joy with this dump cake peach cobbler. The kitchen police aren’t coming, promise.
Other Easy Dump Cakes
Let’s say you loved this one (and I honestly think you will). There’s a whole world of dump cakes waiting out there. If you like fruity desserts, my next pick is cherry dump cake. Makes me think of family gatherings and potlucks with weird mismatched chairs. Apple dump cake is also crazy simple and gives off those cozy-cinnamon-blanket vibes.
Not into fruit? Try chocolate dump cake. It’s basically brownies with two ingredients. Even lemon dump cake feels fresh and zingy for springtime. You can swap fruits, cake mixes, throw in nuts or even a handful of coconut. Oh, and don’t get me started on blueberry dump cake… just yum.

Nutrition Facts (per serving)
Okay, real talk. This isn’t diet food, but who eats cobbler expecting kale? Just for the info: One big scoop (well, what I call a serving) of peach cobbler dump cake has about 320 calories. That covers the peaches, cake mix, and butter. Sugar? Yep, it’s got it. Fats? Sure. But it’s dessert, and a cozy plateful now and then is just… happiness, right? You can cut back a bit by using light syrup peaches or less butter.
Do I eat two servings? Sometimes. Let’s keep that on the down-low.
Serving Suggestions
When I pull this hot and bubbly dump cake peach cobbler outta the oven, here’s how I like to serve it:
- Scoop it while it’s still kinda warm. Trust me.
- Add a big ol’ scoop of vanilla ice cream – it’ll melt right in.
- Maybe a little whipped cream if you’ve got it handy.
- Sprinkle of cinnamon on top? Do it. Never hurt anybody.
Best served after a big dinner with family, but hey, breakfast counts too if you ask me. It’s fruit, right?
Questions & Replies
Let’s do a quick Q&A, because I know some of you have these same questions!
Q: Can I use frozen peaches?
A: Heck yes. Let ‘em thaw and drain a bit, or the cake might get soggy.
Q: How long does it keep?
A: Three days in the fridge, but mine’s usually gone in a night.
Q: Can I make it gluten free?
A: Grab a gluten free cake mix and you’re good to go. Tastes just as homey.
Q: What size pan do I need?
A: I always use a 9×13, but if you go smaller, just keep an eye on the bake time.
Q: Can I double the recipe?
A: Absolutely, as long as you’ve got a big enough pan. Leftovers are kinda the best secret.
Reviews
Honestly, every time I bake this for friends they act like I’ve performed a magic trick. My neighbor Doris once told me, “This is exactly like the cobbler my mama used to make in Savannah.” That’s about the best compliment a Georgia gal like me can ask for.
At potlucks, folks hover around the dish. One time, no joke, someone tried to sneak the last spoonful right out of the pan before dinner even started. It’s got that effect on people. If you like seconds, get in line early.
