When life gets busy and I need a quick treat, I usually make a dump cake. It's my favorite dessert because it is so easy. Seriously, you dump the ingredients in a cake pan and let the oven do the work.
Last week, I made a few batches of peach pie filling, so I had a bowl of leftovers sitting in the fridge waiting to be used. Making a peach dump cake was the easiest dessert recipe I could think of.
All you do is spread the filling in a pan, sprinkle a store-bought cake mix on top, add some butter, then bake. That's it. The buttery topping gets golden and crispy while the peaches bubble underneath, making every bite sweet and gooey.

How To Make Peach Dump Cake
Dump cake with peach pie filling is a great way to make dessert in minutes. Simply dump, bake, and enjoy hot or cold.
- Spoon the pie filling into a greased baking dish.
- Stir together the cake spice and dry vanilla cake mix. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the fruit.
- Drop small chunks of butter on top of the cake mix layer, making sure to spread them out evenly.
- Bake until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Storage Recommendations
Let the peach cake cool completely, then cover the casserole dish tightly with a lid or aluminum foil. It will stay fresh for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
You can let the dish sit out at room temperature if you are serving it the same day. Reheat servings for 10-15 seconds in the microwave.
BruCrew Tips
For the best results in your kitchen, be sure to follow our recipe tips.
- Keep your dump cake from sticking. Spray your dish with nonstick baking spray to keep the filling and cake from sticking to the dish.
- Sprinkle the cake mix evenly. It's ok if it isn't perfect because it is a "dump" cake after all.
- Try a different cake mix. Yellow, spice, and white cake mix complement the peach filling the best.
- Add fresh fruit. Give this delicious dessert a fun twist by adding one cup of fresh blueberries or blackberries to the pie filling.
- Give it a crunch. Stir chopped pecans or almonds into the dry cake mix.
- Avoid dry spots. Make sure to space the butter out evenly so it melts into everything.
- Enjoy it with toppings. Serve the warm peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzles.
