Peach Cobbler Dump Cake

Very easy and delicious. I cut the peaches into little bite size pieces. I pushed the cake mix down into the juice just a bit and melted the butter and poured over mixture. Largest can I could find was 29 oz. so next time I might add another small can. Served warm with vanilla ice cream. To die for!

This is fantastic! I really don't know the sizes of anything, I just dumped. I had a big can of peaches and cut them into chunks. I also added a very small can of pineapple tidbits. I dumped half the cake mix on top, then pushed down. Then added the rest and pushed down. I used the trick of frozen butter and my cheese grater to distribute the butter evenly. Plus it was pretty. It was done to perfection at 45 minutes. I think cutting the peaches up was key, or else it would have been a soggy mess and hard chunks. Cutting them into pieces allowed the cake to mix with the juice better. Loved it, will make often. Cheers! :)

My mother used to make this years ago, and everyone loved it so much it would be gone in minutes! The only difference was that she would melt the stick of butter and drizzle it over the top which probably would get the same results but perhap be a little easier to do. I am making it to take to a friend's house this evening to finish of a meal of low country boil. The guest of honor will be her exchange student from Beijing. :D I'll report back on how everyone enjoyed the dessert!

This is the way my family always makes it. I drain the peaches and add cinnamon and 1 T. Flour as is I was making pie filling, dump it in the 9x13 and carry on according to the directions. One of my Favorites!!! YUM

This is a great recipe. I make it all the time. I use an extra can of peaches, drained. I also use peaches in light syrup and light butter. Since I use light butter I end up with more dry spots. To alleviate this, I take it out after 15 minutes and spray it with butter spray. I also lightly press the topping down with a spatula to avoid too much dry cake mix. It is a little more work, but my mother in law actually likes it better than when she made it with real butter. It leaves the top crispier like more of a cookie.

I love how simple this was. I think mine needed a touch more butter because my edges were still powder.

This was pretty good. It tastes yummy but looks not so great - I had to convince my hubby to try it, but once he did he thought it was very good. I used 2 14oz cans of peaches and added about 1 cup of frozen raspberries and a little water to make up for the 6 oz difference in can sizes, and this seemed to work well. I have had mixed results with dump cakes before so I followed the tips from Jess4Freedom to cut up the peaches and to layer the fruit/cake mix/liquids, and got better results. Great tips, Jess! Still, I cooked mine a little longer than directed because I wasn't sure if it was done yet - it was not setting up much but was overbaking at the pan edges - but I probably didn't need to. Probably could have done the 45 minutes and gotten a more cobbler-like final result than the fruited cake that I ended up with. All in all though, it was quick and easy, and tastes yummy.

This was fantastic!! Unfortunately, grocery stores right now carry 29 oz cans of peaches rather than the full 32 oz ones. My only gripe was that it needed more peaches on the bottom, and I attribute it to the fact that this recipe was written in 2003 and most canned foods have been reduced in size. I might throw another smaller can of peaches in on top of the 29 oz can. The crust was to DIE for! It carmelized and was chewy and wonderful just like I wanted! My boyfriend loved it! He even said, "This is so easy, even I could make this!" Thank you for this cheap and easy dessert!

I loved it! Easy, sweet and totally delicious. The whole pan was gone the first day I made it. I can't wait to make this again. Thanks!

Love, love, love this recipe as written. I've also used canned raspberries and a coconut cake mix - INSANE! Thank you for this simple and delicious dessert!

I really liked this recipe. I followed it exactly. I found the right sizes of cake mix and peaches easily. I cut the butter by chilling a stick with a metal cheese grater in the freezer for a few minutes, then just grated the butter over top. It came ourt perfect. And it was super easy.

This is so yummy and quick and easy. I cut up my peaches and I don't use cinnamon.

I made this for a family get together. It took no more than 10 minutes to prep. It was the only cake on the table out of 4 cakes that was gone by the end of the night. I served it with vanilla ice cream. Next time I will use more peaches or a smaller pan to make it deeper. I sprinkled granulated sugar on time to give it a bit more crunch. I got requests to try apples next time!

This was incredibly easy, and really yummy! The one thing that totally shocked me was that it was a little too sweet for me. I always laugh when people say that desserts are "too sweet" and typically do not have that problem, but this time it was just a tad too sugary for my tastes. Next time, I will try using peaches in light syrup instead, or rinsing my peaches and adding just as smidgen of sugared water to them. There will be a next time, though! Thanks for sharing a great recipe.

Quite good. I've made something very similar with apples. I drained about 3/4 of the liquid from the canned peaches, next time I'll drain it all -- it was still a bit too soupy. I used much less cake mix than recommended based on my experience with apples -- about 6 ounces of mix -- next time I'll use a Jiffy 9oz cake mix; I think that would be perfect for me. The peaches didn't have much flavor, but overall it was easy and good and I'm likely to try it again.

This was quite tasty, especially warm out of the oven served a la mode. I wouldn't call it a cobbler, but I'll definitely make it again as it was SO easy. Thanks!

I tried this recipe because i had alot of canned peaches on hand,it looked very easy, and it got great ratings. But I am sorry, it was just too sweet for me and my children. The cake mix is what made it real sweet. (I used Betty Crocker)Between the crust and the peaches was real soggy. I ended up picking out the peaches and throwing the rest away.I dont think I will try to modify this recipe and try again. It would be a waste of ingredients to me. I will try a completely different recipe.

This was really fantastic, but I made some changes (of course), I used 4 cans(2 drained) peaches in fruit juice and added about half a cup of sugar to the juice. I didn't melt the butter as some suggested and there was definitely some dry spots on the top, but it wasn't horrendous. I also added a bit of brown sugar to the top and it made it very nice and crunchy. One question though, is there any way not to have it turn into a soggy mess by the next day?

It just doesn't get any better or easier than this. I had company coming and I didn't want to have to run to the store, so I checked my pantry and I was in luck!! This took me all of five minutes to put together (maybe less). Just delicious! The pan was clean the same night. My dad took some home with him.
