A dump cake is very similar to a cobbler! However, a dump cake has a cake like topping which is achieved by dumping cake mix over top of canned fruit.
Ingredient Notes for Peach Cobbler Dump Cake
You will need just a few simple ingredients that you might already have around your kitchen to make peach cobbler cake mix recipes.
- Cake Mix: Sprinkle the cake mix over top of the peach fruit filling. We will be adding more ingredients on top of the cake mix topping.
- Canned Peaches: You can use canned peaches when you make this recipe for peach dump cake. I like to use sliced peaches in heavy syrup. You will need peaches drained and 2 cans of peaches in syrup. You could potentially use a peach pie filling in place of the cans of peaches slices.
See the recipe card below for a complete list of the ingredients with measurements.
Variations and Substitutions for Easy Peach Cobbler
- Other Canned Fruit: Try using other fruit in peach cobbler with yellow cake mix.
- Sugar Free Cake Mix: If you’d like to reduce the amount of sugar, use a sugar free cake mix. Using cake mix with less sugar will be delicious and the sugar will not be missed.
- Different Flavors: Try making this easy dessert with a different dry cake mix like spice cake mix or a white cake mix for this peach crisp.
Easy Dessert Pro Tip
Place the cobbler topping onto the fruit, leaving space between each portion of topping. This will allow steam to escape the filling and create more of those crags of caramelized fruit that we all love.
