So grab your spoon and your Crock-Pot, and let’s dive into this deliciously simple recipe that will have everyone coming back for seconds!
Why You’ll Love This Crock-Pot Peach Dump Cake
This Crock-Pot Peach Dump Cake is the definition of low-effort, high-reward. With a handful of ingredients and your trusty slow cooker doing all the work, you’ll have a warm, gooey dessert that tastes like it took all day to prepare. Plus, it’s versatile! You can enjoy it by itself, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or topped with whipped cream. Trust me; it might just become your new favorite go-to recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) sliced peaches in syrup (or fresh peaches, if you’re feeling fancy)
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, but highly recommended!)
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (because, why not?)
Instructions
1. Prepare Your Slow Cooker
First things first, grab your beloved Crock-Pot. Depending on the model, you might want to coat the bottom with a touch of cooking spray for an extra layer of non-stick magic.
2. Dump Those Peaches
Open your can of peaches and dump the entire thing—juice and all—into the bottom of the Crock-Pot. It’s called a “dump cake” for a reason! Now, if you’re using fresh peaches, make sure they’re sliced and a little sweet; nobody likes a sour surprise.
3. Next Up: Cake Mix
Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the peaches. Try to resist the urge to stir! This is about to get heavenly without any extra effort. If you’re feeling fancy, go ahead and sprinkle that cinnamon over the top for a little extra flavor. It’s not required, but it does add a delightful warmth!
4. Butter It Up
Now, for the best part, drizzle the melted butter over the entire cake mix. You want to cover it as evenly as possible. It’ll melt down into the mix and create that deliciously gooey cake texture we all love.
5. Let the Magic Happen
Cover and cook on high for about 2 to 3 hours. No peeking, I promise it will be worth the wait! Your kitchen will start smelling like a summer paradise long before it’s ready. Keep your patience; it’s almost time to indulge!
Cooking Tips
- Feeling adventurous? Try adding some nuts or a sprinkle of brown sugar on top before you cook for an extra layer of crunch.
- If you’ve got leftovers (which is a big “if” with this dessert), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days—if they last that long!
- Don’t worry if your cake looks a little lumpy. This isn’t a beauty pageant; it’s a dump cake, and those lumps are part of the charm!
Personal Anecdote
Let me tell you, this concoction became my go-to dessert at family gatherings after my kids declared it the “best cake ever.” It was one of those moments that made me feel like a culinary rock star without having to invest hours in the kitchen! I mean, who knew a cake could come from a dump (cake) and still win hearts?
FAQs
Can I substitute any ingredients in this recipe?
Absolutely! You can swap the peaches for any fruit you love—think cherries, blueberries, or even apples—with a little cinnamon for a cozy apple pie vibe. Just keep in mind that fresh fruits might require some added sweetness.
How can I store leftovers?
If you have the willpower to save some, simply transfer the remaining cake to an airtight container and store in the fridge. It’s best enjoyed within three days, but let’s be real; it might not even make it through the evening!

Yes, you can prep everything in advance and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to cook. Just remember to let it sit out for about 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even baking!
