You can find the full recipe card with instructions at the bottom of this page. Don’t worry about reading the cake mix recipe….you’re not going to need it.
You will need an 8×8-inch baking dish or casserole dish. You will not need to grease the dish.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
STEP 1 – Start by adding the canned peaches with syrup right into the 8×8-inch baking dish. baking pan
STEP 2 – Evenly scatter the dry cake mix on top of the peaches.
STEP 3 – CUT unsalted butter into thinly sliced squares and place evenly on top of the cake mix.
If you like, for a fancy finish, sprinkle a little brown sugar or coarse sugar on top of the cake mix. Completely up to you!
A lot of recipes call for melted butter. I found that using melted butter made the top crispy in some areas and soggy in others.
The squares of butter sit on top of the cake mix perfectly and you can see from the photo below that the crust is evenly browned.
Bake in 350°F oven for 45 to 55 minutes. The top will be a golden brown when it’s ready and it’s normal for a few areas to be a little soft towards the middle.
Storage Instructions
Store cooled leftovers in covered baking dish or airtight container

This looks seriously amazing!! I am sure my family will go crazy for this dessert!
I didn’t have peaches, so I used apple pie filling instead and it was wonderful. I had my four brothers over for lunch and they all wanted the recipe for their wives.
I love an easy dump-cake style recipe! This looks so good and I can’t wait to make it!
Would putting a thin layer of cake at the bottom of the pan some butter then peaches cake and butter work or would the bottom part not cook properly?
I have seen some recipes use this method but I haven’t tried it. Please let me know how it turns out! 🙂 Sandra
This is fantastic. You took the easiest recipe in the world and made it even easier! I can’t wait to make this.
Thia peach dump cake looks delicious. Definitely going to make one
Love peaches, and this dessert looks fantastic. Can’t wait to try. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my gosh!! It’s so tempting I’m gonna make tomorrow yes I am!!!
I do different fruits and different cake mix flavors. Apple and Spice cake. I am going to try cherries and chocolate cake.
So easy and delicious will be making it again!!
That’s great to hear! We love the simplicity too! Thanks for taking the time to comment 🙂 Sandra
Thanks, U’r a genius!!! U’ve won me over!!! Never will I ever over work myself wrestling with pie crust, peeling & prepping peaches while time slips away. I always add a little fresh squeezed lemon juice to my cobblers. I was blown away with the similarity in the taste of this recipe & the traditional pie crust cobbler. My Family never knew the difference & I’m not gonna tell… LOL
So easy right?! So happy to hear that you enjoyed this peach dessert recipe 🙂 Sandra
I have made this recipe that called for a 13″ x 9″ baking dish. I am going to try using this version using an 8″ x8″ dish. A thicker texture… Yummy!
Love it
Thank you
Thanks for stopping by! 🙂 So happy that you loved it! Sandra
Usually I see something like this for a 9×13 pan. Just wondering the benefit of using an 8×8 pan for this recipe. Looks so yummy. Need to try it!
You can make it in either size pan. I usually like the 9×13 as well but I made this one with the smaller pan 🙂
It’s just me eating all this goodness, so 8X8 is perfect
We love all of your peach recipes they are so good. Going to try to make this cobbler with cake mix it will save so much time!!
Yes i did make this & it was delicious. Best suggestion is the brown sugar on top.
That’s great Kelly! So happy to hear that you enjoyed this easy dump cake recipe!
I didn’t have any yellow cake mix
So i used spiced cake mix. Simply amazing
I’m so happy to find this recipe on your website. I made it years ago when a friend shared it with me. She saw it in “The Starving Student’s Cookbook”. It’s so delicious and easy. I did make a peach crisp from scratch a couple of weeks ago and not only was it as good as this one, it took me over an hour to make. Thank you for posting this.
Love the ease and deliciousness of this recipe. A friend shared this recipe with me many years ago. It was in a college cookbook titled “ The Starving Students Cookbook”. I had forgotten about it until this popped up on my iPad. Thanks for posting it. I just made it for guests and I’m sure they’ll love it. I always use a yellow cake mix. I used to use Freestone peaches but like a lot of products they’re not around in my area anymore.
I am not a peach fan, however everyone I know is, and I have been wanting to try one of these dump recipes… I did use the cinnamon and after reading several different recipes and choosing this one I did top a little brown sugar on the top of the cake powder and butter, prior to baking it. I have to say I’m totally impressed. So easy, tastes amazing and my husband said it was amazing! Ty for this recipe!
