    Dump cakes have become popular for their simplicity and deliciousness. The name “dump cake” itself reflects just how easy it is to make. All you need to do is dump the ingredients into a baking dish and bake.

    The basic concept of a dump cake involves using cake mix as the base filling and combining it with your choice of fruit filling and butter. With this simple technique, you can create a variety of mouthwatering dump cakes, ranging from cherry dump cake to s’mores dump cake, and so much more.

    While using freshly picked peaches straight from the tree would be ideal for a peach dump cake, we often find ourselves pressed for time. That’s when easy desserts like this come to the rescue. However, if you do have the luxury of time and access to fresh peaches, don’t hesitate to go for it.

    This peach dessert comes together in less than an hour, with the majority of the time spent in the oven. Once it’s done baking, simply serve it after dinner, accompanied by a couple of scoops of creamy vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
