Dump cakes are one of my favorite desserts because they are just so freaking easy, and this Peach Cobbler dump cake is no exception. Barely any measuring required, you simply layer the ingredients in your baking pan. Once baked, you’ve got rich bubbly fruit filling and a golden brown cobbler on top. Serve with vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert that is cheap and easy!

The great thing about using canned fruit is that you can enjoy this delicious dessert even with it isn’t peach season. And if you like this recipe, make sure to check out our White Chocolate Peach Dump Cake for a fun twist!

Ingredients for Peach Cobbler Dump Cake

Canned Peaches: You’ll need 2 (15 ounce) or 1 (28 ounce) can of sliced peaches. I prefer canned peaches that are in light syrup rather than heavy syrup, but use what you have. The most important point is DO NOT drain the peaches.

Cake Mix: For cobblers, I like to use yellow cake mix, but you can absolutely use white or butter or even spiced cake mix. You may notice that cake mix sizes are changing. You can use any cake mix size 13-16 ounces (15.25 is most common). Additionally, feel free to use gluten-free cake mix if you are gluten-free.

You’ll also need 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/3 cup melted butter.

Equipment

• 9×9 inch baking dish
• Can opener
• Small bowl for melting butter
• Measuring spoon – I love these magnetic ones!

How to Make 4-Ingredient Peach Cobbler

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Spray a 9×9 baking dish with non-stick spray. You can use glass or metal, but note that metal heats more quickly and glass retains the heat longer. Keep that in mind for your baking time and check occasionally.
3. Pour sliced peaches in the bottom of your pan (do not drain). The liquid is needed for the cake mix.
4. Sprinkle cinnamon over the peaches. 
5. Top the peaches with cake mix, then drizzle with the melted butter.
6. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the top becomes slightly golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desire and enjoy!

Variations of Cobbler Dump Cakes

The beauty of this recipe is the simplicity and all the different flavor combinations you can make! Keep the ratio of cake mix to canned fruit the same and you have endless possibilities. Some of my favorite combinations are:

• Chocolate Cake Mix with Cherry Pie Filling
• Spiced Cake Mix with Apple Pie Filling
• Yellow Cake Mix with Diced Pineapples
• White Cake Mix with Fruit Cocktail
