You only need three ingredients to make this classic Air Fryer Peach Dump Cake recipe only this time we're going to bake it in the air fryer. Don't worry, we'll still "dump" the ingredients together! It's going to be easy, fast and delicious. This is another one of my peach dessert recipes you're going to want to make again and again.
This air fryer peach dump cake recipe is the same as my traditional Peach Dump Cake only instead of baking it in the oven, it's made in the air fryer.
Since I have a basket style air fryer, it's too small to fit a traditional sized baking dish or pan, so I chose to make individual portion sizes. The baking ramekin I used is 5 inches wide by 2 ½ inches deep.
This easy dessert is a little more than one full serving, and plenty for two to share. Especially if you make this for a romantic evening at home.
When you pull this recipe out of the air fryer, make sure you add a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream on top. The warmth of the peach dump cake will start to melt the ice cream and the taste is pure heaven!
Baking with Canned Peaches
Access to ripe peaches is difficult in my area of the country. We don't have local peach trees this far up north. But that's okay because I have learned to bake and create desserts made with canned peaches that taste amazing; like this easy dump cake recipe.
For this recipe, I used a white cake mix. You could also substitute either a yellow or vanilla flavored cake mix if that's all you had in your pantry.

Baking Tip: The amount of ingredients you place inside the baking dish really depends on the size of your baking dish. My dish measures about 6" wide by 2 ½" deep.
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Combine the Ingredients Together
- Place the baking dish in the air fryer.
- Spray the baking dish with non-stick baking spray then add the peaches. I used about one cup of canned peaches for this size baking dish. You may need to add more or less depending on the size of baking dish that fits inside your air fryer.
- Now add a few tablespoons of the juice from the canned peaches. You need some of the liquid from the canned peaches to help the dump cake cook.
- Then sprinkle about ⅓ cup of the cake mix on top.
Step 2: Baking Instructions
- Add the melted butter on top of the cake mix; again, I used 2 tablespoons for this size baking casserole dish.
- Place the basket inside the air fryer and cook on 325°F for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, check to make sure the air fryer peach dump cake is baked. Then turn the heat up to 400 and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes so the topping browns.
Step 3: Cooling Tips
- Allow the dump cake to remain in the air fryer for a few minutes or until you're able to lift it out without burning yourself!
- Set it on a baking cooling rack to cool down until it's ready to be topped with ice cream or homemade whipped cream.
Be careful when removing the ramekins from the air fryer basket. The ramekins and the contents will be hot, so be careful!
Step 4: Dump Cake Serving Tips
Dump cake recipes are best served warm with a scoop of either vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream.
