Peach Crunch Cake or Peach Dump Cake

Peach Crunch Cake or Peach Dump Cake is one of the most easiest recipes you’ll ever make. You literally dump all the ingredients into a baking dish and bake! Let me show you how easy it is to make something delicious for your family. 

This recipe has been updated since it first appeared on my site in 2012 with a new recipe card showing new sizes for canned peaches.

Peach Crunch Cake

Sometimes you find a recipe that is so easy, you think it can’t be good too. Peach Crunch Cake recipe is both easy and good.  As a matter of fact, it’s better than good, it’s delicious, no, it’s amazing!

I’ve made this peach crunch cake recipe quite a few times. As a result, every time I make it I’m reminded at how easy it is and how much people enjoy it. They especially enjoy it warm from the oven topped with Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream! 

The recipe starts out with a cake mix and canned peaches.  Who knew a cake mix and canned peaches could turn into this amazing delicious recipe?

This is the perfect cake to make if you do a lot of baking for sports, school or even church events. Feel free to substitute the peaches with another canned fruit such as with blueberries and even cherries.  No matter which fruit you use, you’re going to love it.

WHAT EXACTLY IS A DUMP CAKE?

  • Dump cake or a crunch cake is very similar to a fruit cobbler. 
  • As a result, the cake mix gives you the crunch buttery topping. 
  • You basically do just like the title says and you dump the ingredients into a baking dish and then top it off with the cake mix. 
  • For the most part, you can use any canned fruit you like.

How to Make an Easy Dump Cake Recipe

By the way, did I mention that this recipe only has 4 ingredients…well 5 if you choose to use the chopped walnuts. 

Make sure you print out the recipe below and save it for later!

  • Canned Sliced Peaches – 2 (15.25 ounce size) not drained
  • Cake mix – 1 package yellow cake mix
  • Butter – 1 stick butter cut into pieces
  • Sugar – 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans; optional

Let’s Get Baking!

To begin with, you need to preheat your oven to 350 degrees. 

  1. In the bottom of a 9X12 baking dish that’s been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, add the canned peaches juice and all.
  2. Sprinkle the cake mix on top, followed by the brown sugar.
  3. Now, add the butter slices.

How Long Do You Bake Peach Crunch Cake

  • Bake the dump cake in a 350 degree F oven for 35 minutes.
  • After 35 minutes, remove the cake from the oven, sprinkle chopped pecans on top, and return the cake to the oven for about 10 more minutes.
  • If you add the walnuts or pecans to the top of the cake at the beginning of baking, they could burn. 
  • The dump cake is done when the top is nice and brown and the filling is bubbling.

How to Serve Peach Crunch Cake

  • It’s best to serve this dessert warm from the oven. 
  • If you can’t serve it warm from the oven, this cake also heats up nicely in the microwave.
  • Besides enjoying this dump cake as is, everything tastes better topped with fresh whipped cream or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

    Hello, thank you for the recipe, it looks delicious! 😋Can I make a suggestion? While scrolling and reading your post and recipe, there’s a disturbing ad that constantly reappears throughout your post, it features a photo of dead mice around a mousetrap, can you remove it please? The last thing anyone wants to see while looking at a recipe and food photos is a bunch of dead mice. 😣
    Thank you!

      Ohhh…I would hate to see that advertisement as well. However, ads that appear on any site are always related to what the user has been recently searching for. So…you might have been searching for mousetraps recently? I know lately I’ve been doing a ton of searching for mother-of-the-groom dresses, so every site I visit the ads appearing all have to do with formal dresses.

      You could always clear your browsing history when you notice an ad you’re not enjoying appear on any site.

      Thank you for visiting!

    That peach crunch cake looks scrumptious. So no stirring or anything? Just pour one thing on top of the other and bake? That sounds soooo easy! Pinning! 😉

    I'm glad I saw Gina Solomon's comment. I was considering doubling the peaches, half fresh, half canned for the juice. So I'm going to for sure. Also considered adding another half cake mix but with her comment, it sounds like it'll come out fine! Thanks!! Making today!

    Thank you so much for participating in Pinned it, Made it! Monday, Lois!

    This sounds wonderful. I've made something similiar but it didn't have the brown sugar on top. I'm going to most certainly give this a try because I love easy and I think it will go over very well here!

    Blessings,
    Tammy

    Peaches are a weakness of mine, and if I made this I would have to eat it all myself (no one else in the home likes peaches). I may try to turn this into a single serve. Looks delish!

    Hi Lois,
    that cobbler looks awesome, and wish you could email me some over!! lol
    So glad Phil will be home tonight,
    know you can't wait…….
    was so happy to hear he will still be employed at the same place, didn't realize that he had the situation of possibly losing that position. God is good, always looking out for us.

    Hubby and I are feeling much better thank you! and yes, we are so happy for both our kids. Dee passed her state boards today for Mammography so now she can just enjoy life again…….cause she was having to study a lot and it was very hard to focus when she is wanting to have a good time with her new hubby. lol
    Take care sweetie,
    and have a good weekend,
    Say Hi to Phil for us.
    Blessings, Nellie
