This recipe is like a hug in dessert form. It’s perfect for those who want something scrumptious without spending all day in the kitchen. You’ll appreciate how easily it comes together, and trust me, your taste buds will thank you! Plus, the combination of juicy peaches and buttery cake mix is sheer bliss.

Ingredients
- 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup chopped pecans (optional, but why not?)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional, but highly recommended!)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
First things first—preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, grab a 9×13-inch baking dish and give it a good spray with non-stick cooking spray. You don’t want your delicious creation to stick like those pesky leftovers from last week!
Step 2: Layer Those Peaches
Open those cans of peaches and drain a bit of the syrup to enjoy later (my secret tip: it’s a great way to sweeten your iced tea!). Pour the peaches into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Make sure to spread them out nice and evenly. You’re building flavor here, folks!
Step 3: Cake Mix Magic
Next, sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches. This step is where the “dump” in dump cake comes into play—just dump that mix right on top! No need to worry about mixing or anything complicated; we’re keeping it simple.
Step 4: Add Butter and Pecans
Now, drizzle your melted butter all over that cake mix. And if you’re feeling like a nut (and I hope you are!), add those chopped pecans on top too. Sprinkle a teaspoon of cinnamon over the entire thing—because who doesn’t love a little warm spice?
Step 5: Bake It Up
Pop it in the oven and let it bake for about 45-50 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top looks golden brown and all bubbly. Your kitchen is about to smell amazing, like a glorious summer afternoon!
Cooking Tips
- Don’t worry if your cake looks a little lumpy; it just adds character!
- Want to change it up? Try using different fruits like apples or berries for a fun twist!
- Top it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream—the creaminess and warmth is a match made in heaven!
