This scrumptious Peach Dump Cake is a cinch to make and always a huge hit at potlucks, family reunions and neighborhood gatherings. With a little planning this delectable cake can be prepped and in the oven about fifteen minutes. I like to make this with fresh or frozen peaches. As they are so incredibly flavorful and they hold their structure better than canned.
We just love peaches especially fresh Georgia, South Carolina and of course Missouri peaches. In fact I have never met a peach that I did not love. This recipe, Peach Crisp, Peach Coffee Cake and Fresh Peach Salsa are just a few of our favorite peach recipes.

How to make a Peach Dump Cake
First in a large bowl combine the peaches, sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, apple pie spice, and lemon juice. Let it sit for a few minutes while you find the baking dish and chop the pecans. Then spoon the peaches into the baking dish, sprinkle with the cake mix, cover with pats of butter and sprinkle with the chopped pecans. Bake for about 45 minutes in a preheated oven. Let sit for 5-7 minutes after removing from the oven. Serve warm a la mode with vanilla ice cream.
Recipe notes and helpful tips
- Use about 2 lbs fresh or frozen peeled peaches. Are you always in a hurry? No problem purchase 3 (15 ounces) canned peaches in heavy syrup and skip the sugars, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Follow the rest of the recipe instructions.
- The cake is sprinkled on dry and no other ingredients listed on the cake box are needed.
- Chopped walnuts can be substituted for the pecans.
- This dessert is delicious served warm out of the oven with vanilla ice cream.
- Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze in an airtight freezer container for up to 3 months.
