Print Recipe

A quick and comforting dump cake combining tart cherry pie filling and juicy peaches with a crunchy yellow cake topping. Perfect for any occasion and requires minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 21 oz can cherry pie filling (preferably Libby’s or Hunt’s)
  • 2 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 15 oz can sliced peaches, drained)
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix (recommend Duncan Hines)
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, sliced thinly
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Handful of chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them thinly.
  3. Spread the canned cherry pie filling evenly in the bottom of your baking dish, then layer the peach slices on top.
  4. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the fruit layer if using.
  5. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layer without stirring.
  6. Place the thin slices of cold unsalted butter evenly over the cake mix.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the fruit edges are bubbly. If the top browns too fast, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not stir the cake mix into the fruit to maintain the layered texture. Use cold butter slices for the best crispy topping. If the cake browns too quickly, cover with foil. Variations include using gluten-free cake mix, dairy-free butter substitutes, or swapping peaches for apples or blueberries.
