3 Ingredient Cake Mix Dump Peach Cobbler, yes, just 3 ingredients plus one hour and you can be enjoying this cobbler today!
Before summer is gone, I want to share this classic 3 Ingredient Cake Mix Dump Peach Cobbler recipe with you.
This is the perfect dessert when there’s no time to make a pie crust! It should be called ‘magic cake’ because the cake mix magically makes a delicious and crispy top crust!
There is no mixing bowl, no mixer, you simply layer the three ingredients in the baking dish.
3 Ingredient Cake Mix Dump Peach Cobbler
- First, you can use canned peaches in heavy syrup or fresh peaches. For fresh peaches, you’ll want to peel, slice, and cover them in 2/3 cups granulated sugar for 30 minutes. I actually used the fermented peaches from my Peach Cobbler Moonshine to make this recipe. They were so totally off the charts! I highly recommend it!
- Whatever form of peaches you use, you want at least 1 cup of liquid (syrup) as well. It doesn’t have to be exact.
- Next, I prefer a white or yellow cake mix, but a butter cake mix will also work for this recipe
- I always recommend using real butter. I used salted butter, cut it into cubes, and placed it evenly on the cake mix.
- Finally, guess what! You can also make this in the slow cooker!! Layer the ingredients in your slow cooker (I used a 6 quart) just as described in the oven method. Cover with the lid, turn on low, and cook for 4 hours or until the top is brown!

Learned how to make this in a dutch oven when I was in boy Scouts back in the ’70s. Colonel Johnson was one of our troop leaders and he taught us how to make this. we always made a double recipe in a 14-in dutch oven. I still make this with my boy scout troop as I am now one of the true leaders and the boys thoroughly enjoy how easy it is to make and it is a perfect dessert at any campout. We always serve it with half and half as a topping. Thanks for bringing back the memories from a long time ago.
Paula says
That is so cool!! I’m so happy you shared that with me. My boys were Boy Scouts too. They LOVED camping every month. That’s actually where I got my Oreo Cobbler from (link> https://www.callmepmc.com/3-step-oreo-cookie-dump-cobbler/) Well the idea anyway, I’m not exactly sure how they made it.
Suzanne says
Very easy and so very good
Sandy Karn says
Hello! I make this same recipe, and have used marion/black/raspberries….yum! I need to make a few HUGE pans of this and wonder if you’ve tried making it ahead of time and then reheating to serve, if it turns out ok?? Thanks for any input . I don’t want to waste my berries or dissapoint the guests!
Paula says
I haven’t reheated it the whole pan before. I do reheat individual servings in the microwave and it’s good.
Scott says
This was great the only thing I did different was I used Betty crocker butter pecan cake mix .
Debbie says
I used peaches in juice. It was delicious.
Frances Johnson says

Felicia Irby says
Can I use frozen peaches and then added a cup of sugar to it
Paula says
I have not tried it so I can’t say for sure.
Barbara Johnson says
On my way to the store to buy the ingredients, going to bake and serve to my Bid Whist players on tomorrow.
Paula says
Enjoy!
Lisa Wright says
I am using French peaches, what kind of syrup should I use and a cup right ?
Paula says
2 cups.
Geri Reynolds says
I just made this for my daughter to take to work, I used 2 pints of can peaches, is that alright? I hope!
Paula says
Yes it is
Amy says
I forgot to grease the baking dish. It’s cooking right now and I’m so worried I ruined it.
Paula says
It should be ok, just may be harder to clean
Mary R says

Thank you! I do too. I have no patience so I can’t spend all day in the kitchen on one recipe. lol. I’ll try to think of some easy appetizers.
John says
Will olive oil work in stead of butter or margarine.
Paula says
I have never used olive oil to bake.
Sheryl L Rath says
All I have is diced peaches in heavy syrup. Will that work?
Paula says
yes
Deb says
Can I use peaches in light syrup?
Paula says
yes, but it won’t be as good as with heavy syrup
Cynthia Williams says
Can’t wAIt to try! Look so good and easy.
Amanda says
I actually have a question. In one place you say you can use canned peaches in heavy syrup or fresh peaches (with the cooking instructions). But under ingredients you say canned peaches with juice. Does it matter if it’s heavy syrup or juice? I bought my ingredients off your ingredient list. I’d hate to have to go back to the store.
Paula says
yes, you can used. I wasn’t clear but I didn’t want readers to drain off the juice/syrup. It is used as well.
Joyce Stumpf says
Because peaches are so mild,I added cinnamon and vanilla to the syrup. Delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
Margie Coleman says
I can’t print your recipes. The print is way too light. I get the title, ingredients, instructions and notes in bold, but the other print won’t show where I can read. Help!
Paula says
I just printed one of my recipes today and it was fine. Do other sites’ recipes print? Your ink may be going out, or check the settings that it set to 90% to 100% black.
Sharon says
I have a bag of frozen peaches that are in my freezer from last year. They have plenty of juice. I need to add a bit more sugar before using them. There are enough for a pie. Do you think I will have an over abundance of juice since they’re frozen? Should I thicken the juice before adding the cake mix?
Paula says
I would drain the juice and thicken it, then follow the recipe
BarbB says
Hi. I just read the same exact recipe on All Recipes and it says to use TWO cans of peaches in heavy syrup. Perhaps that’s why I had so much uncooked powdery cake mix on top???
Paula Scarborough says
It is simple. Stir and serve. It’s great! My family has been doing this for years
BarbB says
Hi: Just pulled this out of the oven. I must have done something wrong. I have ‘dry powdered cake mix’ on the top, obviously not cooked. I thought I had enough fluid. The can of peaches yielded a little more than a cup of fluid. I spread the cake mix evenly, flat as I could, dabbed the butter on and I think I did what the recipe called for. It was bubbling in the oven. It tastes great but was a disappointment because of the powdered cake mix on top. So, what did I do wrong?
Ksas says
Ours did that too. Keep baking it.
Paula says
One 14.5-15.0 ounce can, then I cut them into chunks
BarbB says
Thanks! I’m dying to try this. Looks delicious!!!
BarbB says
In terms of canned peaches, about how many cans of peaches should one use?
Lynda says
What temp and for how long?
Guadalupe says
I have a question do u have tomix the cake ingredient or do u just lay the cake mix out on the peach with out putting the ingredients in the cake mix I mean do uhabe to add the eggs oil water to the cake
April says
Dry cake mix
Jenn@eatcakefordinner says
This sounds so easy and delicious!
Cheryl says
This may be a stupid question but do you mix up the cake mix before adding to peaches? Got a similar recipe from my mother in law and she makes the best peach cobbler which also calls for a can of sprite overall before baking but does not specify dry batter or mixed…seems l have soupy peach cobbler?😉
Gee says
Dear Cheryl, Your peach dump cake sounds very interesting. Especially using the sprite. Is it possible I could obtain your recipe. Would love to hear from you.
Be blessed,
Gee
Rick says
I just made it w/frozen peaches/yellow cake mix & 1 can of diet Sprite. It’s from a weightwatchers recipe on Facebook. Yuk. Lol it was soupy so I put it in for another 20 min. Yuk. 😁 I’m adding butter to the top and cooking another 20 min. Should have stuck w/ my moms old recipe. Lol
Rilla says
I didn’t think you were supposed to cook with diet drinks unless they used Splenda rather than aspartame.
Bonnie Davis says
Use only the cake mix. Sprinkle it evenly the peaches and syrup. To use the sprite you have to remove an equal amount of liquid from the peach liquid.
Brenda says
Don’t mix it.. just pour the box of mix on top of the fruit.
Paula says
Yes, that is correct. Don’t mix the cake mix into the fruit and juice, just sprinkle it evenly over the top.
Taylor Parton says
Nope,.. Just like she says,.. Its a DUMP CAKE.. Dump a can of Peaches,.. then Dump a package of White Cake Mix,.. then just pats of butter all ore it,.. maybe 12 thin pats,.. and I sprinkled a tablespoon of White n a tablespoon of Brown sugar,. put in Oven n Bake, then let cool about 30 minutes before scooping out with a spoon for a delicious treat…
