Ingredient Overview:

As always, the full list of ingredients is in the recipe card with the full recipe, below.

• Peaches – Be sure to use ripe peaches. Ripe peaches will have a little give when squeezed gently, instead of being quite firm or mushy. I often find grocery store peaches to be a bit disappointing – try finding peaches at a farmer’s market if possible.
• Cake Mix – I used a yellow cake mix. Any brand will work.
• Vanilla extract – Be sure to use pure vanilla, or vanilla bean paste.

Ingredient Substitutions:

• Gluten-Free – Use your favorite gluten-free cake mix if needed.
• Dairy-Free – You can use non-dairy sticks of butter to keep this dairy free.
• Cinnamon – Don’t love cinnamon? Try a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom instead.

How to Make this Peach Cobbler Dump Cake Recipe Step-by-Step:

Step 1: Make the Peach Filling. Slice your ripe peaches and dump the peach slices into a buttered 9×13 baking dish or casserole dish. Toss them with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a splash of vanilla extract. Spread in an even layer (as even as possible).

Step 2: Add Cake Mix. Pour the dry cake mix over the top of the peaches.

Step 3: Add Butter & Bake. Pour the melted butter over the top of the cake mix. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon sugar. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until the peaches are bubbling and the topping is golden brown.

Serve & Store:

Serve this delicious cobbler warm from the oven, with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream! This is the perfect dessert for summertime. And the best part is how easy this simple peach cobbler recipe is, while still being incredibly delicious!

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, not at room temperature, for 2-3 days and reheat in the oven. If you love peaches and blueberries, try my Blueberry Peach Cobbler. Still have peaches to use up? Make my Peach Crisp!

Expert Success Tips:

• Use a 9×13 pan – If you can tell from the photos, I actually did not use a 9×13 pan when I photographed this recipe, which was a bit of a mistake as it didn’t bake the same since the pan was smaller. Just be sure to use a 9×13 pan and you won’t have any problems.
• Ripe Peaches – Be sure to use ripe peaches for the best results. They should be a bit soft but not super mushy.

FAQs:

Recipe Variations:

• Stone Fruit – I think a mix of juicy peaches and nectarines, or a mix of plums and peaches would be delicious in this recipe.
• White Cake Mix – If you prefer white cake mix, feel free to use that, but I think the yellow flavor pairs best with the peaches. I think a white cake mix would pair well with cherry pie filling.
• Frozen Peaches – Use frozen peaches to make this when fresh peaches are out of season. I don’t recommend using cans of peaches or a can of peach pie fillings.

Special Tools:

• 9×13 Pan – Use a 9×13 pan for this recipe. A metal pan is the best option, but ceramic works too.
• Oven Thermometer – An oven thermometer will tell you if your oven is actually running at the temperature you set it to. Your oven may not be accurate. Accurate oven temperature is crucial for most bakes, so I leave an oven thermometer in at all times to keep an eye on my oven’s calibration.
