This Easy Peach Cake is made with canned peaches and topped with cake mix for a crispy crust. It’s an easier way to make peach crisp!
I came across a recipe for peach cake a few years ago, and now that there’s Pinterest, I know that it’s commonly called peach dump cake! Well, that sounds slightly less appetizing, although it pretty much describes the recipe to a T. I don’t make it that often, so I think it’s fine to cut corners when you want a quick and easy dessert. And, it’s easy enough for the little kids to help make.
Basically, you just dump the peaches into a baking dish, and add a little bit of cinnamon. We like to cut the peaches up into smaller slices while they’re in the pan, but this is just a personal preference.
Then, you pour the cake mix over the peaches, smooth it out and top the mix with pats of butter.
Then, you bake the cake until it’s all bubbly and the top is crisp. How easy is that?!
I did have to tell my daughter not to dump everything all over the place, but other than that, the kids love making this as much as they love eating it!
How to Make an Easy Peach Cake
Easy Peach Cake
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 stick of butter
- 3 15-oz cans peaches
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a 13 X 9-inch pan with butter or cooking spray
- Dump the peaches and juice into the pan.
- If desired, cut the peaches in half to make the pieces just slightly smaller.
- Add cinnamon over peaches
- Pour the cake mix evenly over the peaches.
- Cut the butter into small pats and arrange evenly over the cake mix.
- You can also mix the peach juice with the mix a little, just so you won't have spots of cake mix on the top. I think if the mix is spread evenly enough, it will bake more evenly.
- Bake for 35 to 50 minutes, or until the peaches are bubbly and the top is brown.

This recipe turned out simply awful. I have to throw it all away. I followed the directions completely, I cooked it for 60 minutes and took it out to cool. Then cut into it, the peaches were still in a bunch of juice, the top was more like a crust, you could see where I placed the butter pieces. What a mess. Wasn’t like a cake at all.
Dee says
It’s a dump cake — not a regular cake, which the recipe does say. It’s supposed to be more like a cobbler and is really quite delicious.:)

I made this tonight. Soooo good. I have made the same thing in the crockpot. You cant mess it up. Easy, simple, delicious!
Dee says

This was outstanding to make. 5 star, warning! No crumbs to throw away! Literally all will be eaten. Some love it hot. I love it cold! To each fit it’s own. Will not regret to serve in a party or just a gathering, get ready for all the great comments coming your way!
I used cherry cake mix, because did not have the yellow cake mix. Yet cherry made an interesting strong flavor if you like cherry go for it!
I cut the butter stick into 4, then 1/2. And each into 4. Placed the butter slices into rows. Keep in freezer before cutting for easier cutting/slicing.
Enjoy! Thanks for sharing DEE! DELICIOUS…. can’t say enough ????
