Sabrina’s Peach Dump Cake Recipe
This quick, universally loved dessert comes together in minutes and bakes into a warm, syrupy fruit filling with a crisp, golden topping. Since it uses shelf stable ingredients, you can make it any time of year, and the contrast of crunchy top and sweet, saucy fruit is always a hit. It’s perfect for potlucks or after dinner gatherings because it makes plenty with almost no effort, and it’s best served warm. Just give it a moment to cool after baking because it comes out piping hot.

Sabrina’s Tip
One thing that makes this recipe so easy for me is using a ready-made peach filling, but if I want to go with fresh peaches instead, I just peel and slice them, then toss the slices with a little sugar. As they bake, the peaches release their juices and blend with the sugar to create a rich, homemade fruit layer for the dump cake.

Can this be made ahead of time?
Yes! Peach Dump Cake is a great dessert to make ahead, and it actually holds up beautifully with a little rest. You can bake it earlier in the day or even the night before, let it cool completely, then cover and refrigerate it. The topping softens slightly as it sits, but the flavors meld and the fruit layer stays luscious. When you’re ready to serve, I like to warm it briefly, so the filling loosens and the top regains some crispness. If you want to make it even farther ahead, you can bake it, cool it, and freeze it; just thaw and warm before serving.
How to Store
- Serve: Don’t leave Peach Dump Cake sitting out at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
- Store: To keep leftover cake fresh, you can cover the entire cake pan in plastic wrap or foil. Transfer smaller portions of leftover cake into an airtight container. When kept sealed, the cake can stay good for 3-4 days in the fridge.
- Freeze: You can also put the cake in an airtight container to store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Variations
- Cake mix: You can swap out the regular yellow cake mix for other flavors, depending on what you like. Angel food cake mix or white cake mix would taste good with the peach filling. You could also use a chocolate cake mix, but I’d recommend using a different kind of fruit filling like cherry because peach and chocolate just don’t taste that great together.
- Fruit filling: Swapping out the fruit filling for another variety is another easy way to remake this tasty dessert. Canned fruit pie mixes like cherry, strawberry, blueberry, or blackberry pie filling are good options. You could also do a layer of peach filling and a layer of berries or another fruit-filling option. The peach flavor would taste great with strawberry or blueberry added.
- Cinnamon Sugar Peach Dump Cake: You can sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the entire Peach Dump Cake for an easy topping with a comforting and sweet flavor. You can also toss ground cinnamon over peaches to incorporate the dessert flavor into the fruit filling.
- Toppings: For more additions to the simple peach dessert, you can top the dump cake off with flaked coconuts, sanding sugar, crumbly brown sugar, white chocolate chips, or fresh berries.
