About This Recipe
Okay, tell me if this sounds familiar - it's a lazy summer afternoon, the sun is shining, the air smells like blooming jasmine and you are barefoot on the porch with a bowl of warm, luscious peach cobbler dump cake and a spoon. Yes, this recipe works its magic like that.
I made this peach cobbler dump cake recipe for the first time during one of those ""what can I make from what I have?"" moments. I had a box of yellow cake mix, a can of peaches, and a sweet craving. Who would have thought that this little combination would yield a total showstopper dessert with zero effort?! Sultan took one bite and said, ""Wait...you made this without even using a mixer?

Secret Tips
Don’t stir the cake mix after layering — the magic happens when it bakes undisturbed.
Use cold butter sliced thinly or melted evenly across the top for maximum crisp.
A sprinkle of brown sugar or cinnamon on top before baking adds a caramelized finish.
Let it cool slightly before serving so the filling sets up — it’s even better with vanilla ice cream!
