What is a Dump Cake?
As previously mentioned, a dump cake is similar to a cobbler. It’s an American dessert that uses cake mix as a topping, usually covered in pats of butter or melted butter. It’s layered together in a baking dish without mixing. Just as the name suggests, you’re basically “dumping” the ingredients into a casserole dish and then baking. There are so many different kinds of dump cake that you can make including a blueberry dump cake, a pineapple dump cake, or seasonal flavors like this Pumpkin Dump Cake.
How to Make This Easy Peach Dump Cake Recipe
The steps to make this delicious dessert and very straightforward. Once your peaches are ready to go, you layer the dry cake mix right on top without mixing it.

I love the smell of cinnamon. The cinnamon and the syrup from the canned peaches go together so well and you can almost smell it caramelize in the oven while it’s baking. You will likely have your little ones coming into the kitchen asking you every 5 minutes if it’s ready to eat yet.
