Ingredients Needed For Easy Peach Dump Cake:

2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches, in juice not syrup
1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into thin slices
1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons brown sugar, optional for extra sweetness

How To Make Peach Dump Cake:

Now get ready for this recipe to blow your mind on how simple it is. Even if you’re not a baker, you can easily make this! Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.

Then, grease a 9×13 pan with some cooking spray or butter. I love to use my Caraway Home baking pan for this!

Hardly anything ever sticks to their bakeware so you don’t need a lot of spray to grease it. And you can use my code “MORNINGS_ON_MACEDONIA10” to get 10% off anything from their site as well!

To start making the cake, simply pour the 2 cans of peaches (and their juices) into prepared baking dish. Then, evenly sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar on top.

Sprinkle The dry cake mix on top of the fruit mixture, making sure it’s a complete layer that covers all fruit. Do not stir! Arrange thin slices of butter evenly over the cake mix, trying to cover as much as possible with the butter.

Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the butter, if using. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. Or until the top is golden brown and edges are bubbling.

Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving. Top with some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Enjoy This Peach Dump Cake!

To store cake, any leftovers can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days, refrigerated for 5-7 days, or frozen for up to 3 months! But, I’m not sure if you will actually have a lot of leftovers!

This cake was so yummy, it was devoured in seconds! It’s a perfect summer treat and it’s so nice because you don’t have to actually put much effort in to make it!
