🍽 Equipment
Here’s the thing about this peach dump cake cobbler: it really is one of the easiest desserts you can make from scratch!
Not only does it use just 4 simple ingredients, but the only equipment you’ll need to make it is your oven and a baking dish. That’s it.
🍑 Peach Dump Cake Ingredients
This is a peach cobbler made with cake mix, so the only ingredients you will need to prepare for it are the peeled and sliced peaches, plus the cold cubed butter.
Lemon zest is optional, but I personally love the little zing of flavor it adds.
Fresh Peaches
You could use canned peaches, but fresh peaches have so much more flavor and are easy to prepare. Follow our easy guides to prep the peaches for this recipe:
Cold Cubed Butter
For this dump cake recipe, you’ll want to use unsalted butter that’s been diced and kept very cold.
Boxed Cake Mix
You can use boxed white or yellow cake mix to make this peach cobbler dump cake! We even have a cake mix recipe included with our Strawberry Dump Cake with Bananas, if you would prefer to make your own.
🔪 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9 inch baking dish with butter or baking spray. Place peeled and sliced peaches in the baking dish after greasing.
- Add boxed cake mix to the bowl of a food processor with cold cubed butter pieces and lemon zest, if using. Pulse to create a crumb texture. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a pastry cutter, 2 knives, or your clean hands to cut the butter into the cake mix.
- Sprinkle the crumbs over the top of the peaches in the baking dish and spread to cover them evenly.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes until the top is golden. Serve with ice cream and fresh peach slices, and enjoy!

Bisquick Peach Cobbler
Instead of cake mix, you can also make peach cobbler with bisquick.
- Mix 2 cups of bisquick with 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of melted butter (about 2 sticks of butter melted).
- Pour over the top, and bake as instructed above.
Recipe Tip
You can add more than just peaches to this recipe! Peaches pair well with berries – especially blackberries and blueberries – and also with nuts, like pecans, hazelnut, or almonds.
