Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix
Peach Cobbler, also sometimes called a Peach Dump Cake consists of a fruit layer that is baked in a casserole dish with a pastry or crust topping. Often times, cobblers and dump cakes get intertwined. I did a little research as to what exactly the different was, but it appears there isn’t much of any.
According to this site: It looks like a Dump Cake is covered with more of a “crust” while a Cobbler is topped with a biscuit, batter or dumpling. Well, whatever you want to call it, are you ready to get started? Here is what you’ll need:
- 3 cans, 15.25 oz each, sliced peaches in syrup
- ground cinnamon
- 1 package, 15.25 oz, yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 stick, 1/2 cup butter, cold
- vanilla ice cream or whipped topping for serving
Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix Notes:
- We love to use this baking pan because it comes with a lid! This way, you can just keep the leftovers fresh right in your baking pan! No more trying to cover it up with messy aluminum foil. Yay!
- I have seen versions of this recipe where people sprinkle some nuts on top at the end before going in the oven. Almonds, pecans, walnuts, pistachios… anything would roast nicely in the oven.
- I’ve seen different methods for incorporating the butter into this dish. We opted to slice ours up and place them around the dish. You could also melt the butter and drizzle it evenly over the recipe. Or, I’ve seen people melt the butter and mix it in with their cake mix. This gives you a sort of “crumble” and people seem to like how it bakes. I haven’t tried these methods, so I can’t attest to them. But go for it if it sounds good to you!
- This should go without saying, but we highly advise serving this warm with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and/or vanilla ice cream on top. But.. .we didn’t need to tell you that, right?
I hope you enjoy this Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix. Let me know how it works out for you in the comments!

Larry says
This recipe is delicious
Kathy says
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it!
Bernadette says
Can you use peaches in light syrup and sugar free cake mix?
Kathy says
I haven’t tried it, but I don’t see why not. If you make it, let us know how it turned out!
Sandy Langdon says
I might try fruit cocktail with this. I like cocktail cobbler.
Kathy says
I never thought of that. Please let us know how it turns out.
Veronica Odom Fersner says
This recipe is fool proof and oh so yummy 😋
Kathy says
Thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Nancy H Haney says
Would it work with canned peaches in juice rather than heavy syrup? I’m thinking of trying a low sugar version with gluten free cake mix and Swerve brown sugar.
Kathy says
Yes, I would think that would be just fine. Let me know how it turns out.
Mary says
I love this easy recipe! It is my go-to dessert for bridge games, card night, dominoes, and everyone can’t believe how good and simple it is to make. Our favorite is caramel apple with pecans. I use caramel bits and chopped pecans with cinnamon/sugar sprinkling.
Kathy says
Adding caramel sounds amazing! Thank you for the suggestion!
Norma Farman says
How many cans of apple filling do yuh out use and caramel baking bits ?
Richard L says
Simple and delicious!
Kathy says
That is exactly the kind of recipes we love!
Dianna Klein says
So I need to find a way to make a 2 serving one since I would be the only one eating it. Love this idea can’t wait to try it out. Guess I’m going to be a big fan from now on . Thank you for sharing this 🍑🍽️✌️😉😎😷
Kathy says
Thank you so much for visiting! Maybe you could freeze some of it for later?
Jean Louise says
I love this dessert. I have been making a similar version for years. When I use peaches I add some nutmeg too, just because I like it. I am going to make this version this weekend to try it because I have never added brown sugar. I’m a bit concerned with the level of sweetness in adding it as I find it’s really sweet with just the cake mix.
I also make it using 2 cans of tart cherries in juice and leave out the cinnamon.
Kathy says
Please come back and let us know. I love the idea of using nutmeg!
Sandra Spencer says
OMG! Delicious! I made this peach cobbler this evening for myself & my hubby MMMMM!!!!!!!! Delicious & so simple to make. I will recommend this dessert to everyone I know. Thank you so much!!!!!
Kathy says
I am so happy you enjoyed it. I appreciate you sharing your experience!
Disappointed says
Tried it and yes it is easy BUT mine came out with sections of dry cake mix batter on top still powdery dry when the cooking time was done. 🧐. So the “pretty” presentation was not so grand when I had to “mix” in the batter AFTER it came out of the oven. Followed the directions to a “T” so don’t know what happened. Wasn’t pleased with this one 😒
Kathy says
Did you put the pats of butter on top like in the instructions?
Sandie Seyller says
Can I substitute cherry filling as well ?
Kathy says
Absolutely! That would be delicious!
Connie says
I don’t know whether I did it right or not, but I wasn’t sure whether the cake mix should be prepared like making a cake and poring it on top of the peaches. I sprinkled the cake mix on top and then the brown sugar. The cake mix under the crusty top portion was dried cake mixed. Not cooked. I even left it in the oven 10 minutes longer. It was horrible with uncooked cake mix. Help!!! What did I do wrong?
Kathy says
Hmmm. Only thing I can think of is maybe you didn’t put the butter on top? I’d think if you forgot that part it would end up pretty dry and uncooked.
Artetta says
I’m excited to try this cobbler this weekend. Has anyone tried it in a instapot
Kathy says
I haven’t yet but I have done an apple one in the IP and it turned out great!
Patricia Hadsell says
I have cut up peaches not in a can is this possible to make since there is no juice?
Kathy says
Yes, you may want to add a bit of sugar water with them.
Sherri says
I made it abs by cake mix was still powder after cooking… was it suppose to be…I followed the directions completely.. must have done something wrong
Artetta says
I’m learning how to bake 🤦🏾♀️. My family love 💗 it thanks for the easy recipe. The pictures at reach step made it even easier to follow
Kathy says

Tiffany Bailey says
Simple and delicious!! My family LOVED it! I’ll definitely be using this recipe again in the future.
Kathy says
I am so glad you and your family LOVED it! Thank you for letting us know!
Beth says
Reading the comments above about some dry parts of the cake mix still being present after baking, I used a trick I learned from another dump cake recipe. I know this makes it technically not a “dump cake” but, I carefully mixed all the peaches, with the two cans of juice, cinnamon, and the cake mix in a large bowl so all ingredients are well-mixed/incorporated. Then I poured it into the greased baking pan, added the brown sugar, and the butter and baked, as the recipe directs. It came out perfectly golden brown and the peaches still were mostly on the bottom and yes, still super yummy! No dry spots of cake mix left at all!
Kathy says
Great tip, thank you!
