Dump Cake Recipes FAQs
A dump cake is essentially a type of cobbler recipe where you “dump” all of the ingredients into a baking dish, involving very little effort. It is a super easy dessert and oh so delicious. It gets its name because you literally dump all the ingredients into a baking dish. No mixing bowl is necessary.
They are very similar in taste and consistency. Both have a layer of fruit filling. A dump cake uses a store-bought cake mix but a cobbler uses a Bisquick topping.
You could use canned peaches, but fresh peaches have so much more flavor and are easy to prepare.
Peach Dump Cake Ingredients
- peaches, peeled and sliced
- box cake mix, white or yellow
- unsalted butter, diced and very cold
- lemon zest, optional
How to Make Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix
- 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 a 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.
- This version is also amazing. It has a bit of a thicker consistency but it also very good.
