A quick and easy peach cobbler dump cake featuring canned or fresh peaches with a buttery pecan topping, perfect for summer gatherings or simple desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 oz / 425 g each) sliced peaches in syrup, drained slightly (or 4 cups fresh peeled and sliced peaches)
  • 1 box (~15.25 oz / 432 g) dry yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (120 g) chopped pecans, toasted lightly
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Toast 1 cup chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, stir together melted butter, brown sugar, toasted pecans, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) until combined.
  4. Spread the drained canned peaches evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. If using fresh peaches, toss them with 1 tablespoon sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice before layering.
  5. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches without stirring.
  6. Spoon the butter pecan mixture evenly over the dry cake mix.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until the top is bubbly, golden brown, and crispy around the edges. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast.
  8. Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Do not stir the cake mix into the peaches to maintain the dump cake texture. Toast pecans to enhance flavor. Rotate pan halfway through baking for even crisping. Use dairy-free butter or coconut oil for a vegan version. Almond flour can replace cake mix for gluten-free adaptation.
