Dump cakes are just one of those things that everyone needs to make once in a awhile. You have a busy evening and need a dessert – dump cake! This peach dump cake combines the flavor of peach with a buttery topping that gives it a richness that goes really well with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

When I stumbled onto this recipe, (written on bank stationary in my grandma’s handwriting) my first thought was “do they even make butter pecan cake mix?” I remember the flavor of butter pecan ice cream which my grandma always seemed to have in the freezer. But lo and behold, they do sell it as a cake mix flavor and there was plenty of it to purchase at my local grocery store.

Comments & Reviews
Hi. I followed this recipe to the letter, including using the Betty Crocker mix. It didn’t rise much: is that intentional? The cake mix normally calls for three eggs. But since this recipe called for the dry mix only, I assume it’s on purpose as there is some baking soda and powder contained in the mix. The cake tasted good but I would have preferred a fluffier cake. This was the first dump cake I made: I guess the trade off is the ease of preparation. Thanks.
Can I used chopped walnuts instead of pecans
It smelled good. I sprayed my pan.. poured in the peaches, juice and all. Put cake mix on top and added melted butter. One hour and a half later, them mix is still dry. Don’t know what happened….
I made this peach butter pecan dump cake and it was excellent
So glad you enjoyed it!
