A quick and easy dump cake featuring canned peaches, brown sugar, and a cinnamon crumble topping that delivers a sweet, buttery, and perfectly crumbly dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 oz / 425 g each) sliced peaches in juice or light syrup
  • 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 box (15.25 oz / 432 g) yellow or white cake mix
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Drain one can of peaches lightly (reserve juice from the other can) and combine both cans with 1 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Stir gently to mix, but don’t break up the peaches too much.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into your baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the cake mix with granulated sugar and cinnamon. Pour in melted butter and stir just until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peaches without pressing it down.
  6. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly. Tent with foil after 35 minutes if topping browns too fast.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not stir once the cake mix is on top to maintain the crumbly texture. Use melted butter for a crisp topping. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Optional: add nutmeg or ground ginger to the crumble topping for extra spice. For a richer peach flavor, add a splash of bourbon or peach schnapps to the filling.
