Peach Dump Cake – made with just 6 ingredients and perfect for feeding a crowd!
Yesterday was my sister’s birthday, and we did something we haven’t done in a long time. We went out to dinner with her to celebrate! Sounds like no big deal, right? People go out to celebrate birthdays all the time! And we used to be those people…..before we had 5 kids between us….!
I’m not sure what got into us, or why we thought it was a good idea, but we decided to meet at Olive Garden at 5:30. Plenty of time before the kids’ bedtime, and with four adults to our five kids, we figured we’d have things under control. All I can say is WE WERE WRONG!
From the minute we pulled in next to them, it was clear that the kids were excited. And not just ours….theirs, too! Then came the 15 minute wait to get seated, during which the kids chased each another in circles, and the additional 15 minute wait to order our food, followed by 15 more minutes until our food actually showed up at the table. The kids all ate a few bites and then decided they were tired of sitting down….so within minutes they were up and chasing each other in circles. Again.
Of course, we didn’t just let them run wild….we pretended to have things under control and made them sit back down! Which worked for about 5 minutes, until they slowly started creeping up out of their chairs, needing to use the bathroom, wanting to play on our phones, asking if we would please please please tell them the baby’s name, running up and down the mini set of stairs that set our table off from the rest of the restaurant….
Needless to say, our dinner was somewhat distracting. (Not just for us, but for everyone around us!) And this was all before dessert. Yes, at the last minute, when we felt like we couldn’t possibly stay a moment longer, my sister’s birthday dessert arrived at the table. And it was at that moment that I wondered why we hadn’t just stayed home, ordered pizza, and whipped up a dump cake. It would have been easy, delicious, and possibly even enjoyable….! (Oops- did I just say that outloud!?)

We have dump cakes almost every week during the summer! They really are life savers. Ah yes, the eating out – it wasn’t that long ago I was the little girl asking where on earth was my food? and why are there two forks? and why is the server giving other people their food first? My brothers weren’t talkers, just movers and shakers. We made eating out … entertaining 😉 I bet your sister still had a great birthday dinner; she has a sweet sister!

Elza says
How many ounces in the canned peaches? Thanks.
Andrea says
What size can of peaches…large 29 oz or small 15 oz? And I just made this and the white chocolate chips turned brown and did not melt. Please help. Thank you.
Cathy Trochelman says
Sorry to hear you had trouble, Andrea! A small can of peaches is what you need. You can always cover with foil near the end to prevent over-browning of the white chocolate chips. Hope this helps!
Joy. Brooks says
I must try all of these, soon as possible.
Kathy Cruz says
I made out and came out great. Next time I don’t think I will use the white chocolate chips, it made it too sweet.
Colleen says
Can you make this in the crock pot?
Angela says
The recipe states that near the end you can cover with aluminum foil to prevent over Browning. So when would be the best time to cover with foil to prevent that from happening? And would it be OK to use pie filling and topping? I bought a can at the grocery store and I didn’t realize it said pie filling and topping.
Heather says
I make this but with coconut instead of white chocolate chips. It’s AMAZING!
Laurenne says
Any idea how I could substitute with fresh peaches??
Scott says
I love looking at your recipes, but to be honest, I don’t have the time or inclination to scroll through all the extraneous chit chat. Why can’t the recipe be front and center?
Cathy Trochelman says
There’s a jump to recipe at the top of every post 🙂
Paige says
I soften the white choc chips in the microwave (about 30 – 45 seconds) so it melts into the cake better and instead of pecans (we don’t care for nuts on cake) I make a simple streusel of brown sugar, cold butter pieces and flour, then sprinkle that on top instead. SO YUMMY!
Cindy says
Simple, easy and delicious recipe! I love this one.
