How to make cherry peach dump cake
- Cherry Pie Filling: use a store-bought pie filling or make your own! Want a totally peach cobbler? Use peach pie filling instead.
- Peaches: sliced peaches in juice or light syrup, drained. I love using canned peaches but you can also use thawed frozen peaches.
- Nuts: chopped nuts add incredible texture and a nutty buttery flavor
- Cake mix: I’m using yellow cake mix
- Butter: It’s ok if the unsalted butter is cold since we’ll be slicing it.

Ingredients
- 1 21 ounce can Cherry Pie Filling
- 1 15 ounce can sliced peaches in juice or light syrup, drained, (you can also use frozen thawed peaches)
- ¾ cup chopped nuts, , optional
- 1 approx 15 ounce box yellow cake mix
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 2.8L casserole dish or 9×13” pan with cooking spray.
- Pour the cherry pie filling in the bottom of the dish. Drain the peaches and pour them on top of the cherries. Sprinkle the nuts over the fruit. Open the cake mix and sprinkle the power evenly over the top.
- Slice butter into small pieces and sprinkle evenly over the top of the cake mix. Make sure to make it even so that it all melts into the cake mix.
- Alternately, freeze the butter for 30 minutes, then grate it and spread it evenly over the cake mix.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the fruit starts to bubble up around the edges and the edges start to turn golden. I baked mine in a casserole dish that was deeper than a 9×13” pan so it took 40 minutes. Different pans will have different baking times, so start checking after 30 minutes.
- Serve with ice cream or whipped cream. Store covered in refrigerator.
Notes
- Use any kind of pie filling you like.
- Store in the refrigerator covered or freeze for up to a monthl.

I have never tried a dump cake for some reason, but it is definitely on my to do list. This looks so good 🙂
I struggle with what to bring to potlucks, too! I love the idea of a dump cake and this cherry-peach combo! Yum!
I just reminded me how infrequently I make dump cakes. Which is such a complete shame for the family…and me! Love this one! Cherry and peaches are such a great combo.
The food of my childhood was canned strawberries, just thinking of them now makes me realise how much I loved but hated them; the flavour was great but the texture was ghastly! This dump cake looks delicious, it is so cool how a box of cake mix and some butter makes a crumble-like topping. The name though makes me laugh every time 😀
I bet using those canned strawberries in this would be perfect! That crunchy top makes everything better. 🙂
Is it just me or does it look like she used the peach juice? It says that she drained. Has anyone tried to make this?
I drained the peaches. The written recipe, at the bottom of the post, has all the specifics. 🙂
