Peaches and Cream Dump Cake

Recipe Ingredients

Let's break down the delicious components of our Peaches and Cream Dump Cake.

Frozen Sliced Peaches: The sweet, juicy peaches form the warm, tender, and incredibly flavorful base of the dump cake. Using frozen peaches makes this a convenient and quick dessert to prepare any time of year.

Sugar: A touch of sugar is added to the peaches to enhance their natural sweetness, creating a perfectly balanced and irresistible sweet peach filling.

Ground Cinnamon: This warm, aromatic spice beautifully complements the peaches.

White Cake Mix: The cake mix forms the golden, slightly crisp, and buttery topping without the need for extensive measuring, making it an incredibly easy cake recipe and a fantastic quick dessert solution.

Butter: Melted butter is essential for transforming the cake mix into a rich, golden-brown, and delicious crust as it bakes.  

Cream Cheese Frosting: Drizzled over the warm cake, this cream cheese frosting adds a luxurious, tangy-sweet finish that truly elevates the "cream" in our peaches and cream dump cake.

Whipped Topping or Vanilla Ice Cream (optional): These are the perfect accompaniments!

How to Make Peaches and Cream Dump Cake

Here are the simple steps to make this delicious Peaches and Cream Dump Cake. See the full recipe below for all the details.

1. Make the Peach Base 

In the pan, combine your thawed peaches, sugar, and cinnamon, spreading them evenly across the bottom.

2. Add the Cake Mix and Butter Topping 

Evenly sprinkle the dry white cake mix over the peach mixture. Next, pour the melted butter over the cake mix, making sure to tilt the pan to help the butter cover as much of the dry mix as possible. This is key for a golden, crisp topping.

3. Bake, Cool, and Drizzle 

Bake until the top is light golden brown, mostly dry, and the peach mixture is bubbly around the edges. Cool for 20 minutes, drizzle, and top with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped topping!
