Hey BeBes!
For those of you who don’t know, I’m not exactly known for my baking prowess. In fact, “baking” and “me” usually don’t go hand-in-hand. Between my demanding job as a director, the whirlwind of motherhood, and let’s be honest, the general exhaustion that comes with adulting, finding time to whip up elaborate desserts is a distant dream.
But every now and then, a craving hits. And lately, it’s been all about peaches. So, I decided to challenge myself to make something delicious without spending hours in the kitchen. Enter: the dump cake.
Why Dump Cake?
- Simplicity: It’s literally in the name! You “dump” ingredients in layers and bake. That’s it. No fancy mixing, no precise measurements (unless you’re feeling ambitious).
- Versatility: Fruit, cake mix, butter – that’s the magic formula. You can use almost any fruit you have on hand: apples, berries, cherries… the possibilities are endless!
- Time-Saver: Perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekends. Minimal effort, maximum deliciousness.

Ingredients
- 2-3 (15 ounce) cans sliced peaches in syrup
- 1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix

Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2
Pour two (15-ounce) cans of sliced peaches (including the syrup) into the prepared baking dish.
3
Evenly sprinkle one (18.25-ounce) box of yellow cake mix over the peaches.

5

Serve warm and enjoy! This easy peach cobbler dump cake is delicious on its own, but it’s even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
