I am all about easy dessert recipes that don’t use hard-to-find ingredients or take a lot of time to make. We all have better things to do, right?

Dump cakes are always a great idea! They use just a few ingredients, that you can usually keep around the house, and require no baking skills. It’s a win for everyone! 

What I love about this peach blueberry dump cake using cake mix is that it also includes some oats on top! And a little sprinkle of cinnamon?! It’s basically just asking to be a breakfast dessert. 

Yes, breakfast dessert is a thing. It’s when the dish has ingredients that you often find in breakfast and then you add the most perfect dessert elements, in this case, cake mix and butter. 

Ingredients

ingredients for peach blueberry dump cake
What you need to make a blueberry dump cake with frozen peaches.
  • Yellow Cake Mix (I prefer a yellow cake mix over white. I think it has a bit more vanilla cake flavor)
  • Canned Peaches (if you can find Peach Chunks those would work too but I think sliced peaches in heavy syrup are usually easiest to find)
  • Frozen Blueberries (or fresh if they are in season)
  • Oatmeal
  • Butter (these are what will make the crust super delicious!)
  • Cinnamon (optional, but tasty!)

The oats and cinnamon are really what set this recipe apart from other dump cakes. The oats add a wonderful texture to each bite and get all toasty in the oven.

How to Make Blueberry Peach Dump Cake with Oatmeal Topping

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

  1. Dump peaches into a large 9×13 glass baking dish (do not drain), and spread out in the pan.
  2. Add blueberries as evenly as possible on top of the canned peaches.
  3. Sprinkle dry yellow cake mix over the top of the fruit and press down with a spatula (these are my fave!) so it can mingle with the juice of the peaches.
  4. Slice butter into small squares and evenly spread out the butter on top of the cake mix. 
  5. Sprinkle oats on top of the butter and lightly dust with cinnamon.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until golden brown on top.

Just look at that color! You can see from this photo that the fruit releases the juice and keeps this dessert super moist. The cake mix doesn’t rise.

Instead, it creates the most wonderfully buttery crust-like topping. Dang it, I love dump cakes! 

Most of my dump cakes don’t use oatmeal. But it’s a really great way to change up the texture a little bit. It also makes it feel a little more like a fruit crisp than a dump cake.

It gives it a nice finished look that would look great on any party dessert table.

There are a few ways to add butter to dump cakes. You can either slice the butter and put it evenly across the top like I’ve shown here or you can melt it and pour it over the top.

Adding melted butter used to be my favorite method but it is hard to ensure even coverage. The butter pats are super easy to do and I find this has become my go-to method. 

Tips and Tricks

  • I would not make this with fresh peaches. If you’ve ever read instructions for how to remove the peel it’s too many steps and I am far too lazy. I save fresh peaches for my Angel Food Cake with Peaches and Cream. But I leave on the skins…
  • The syrup in the canned peaches helps the cake mix to create a golden-brown crust which is another reason I prefer them. Make sure you do not drain them.
  • Dump cakes don’t hold their shape so they are best served in a bowl.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Use Frozen Fruit in Dump Cake?

Yes! It’s super easy to use frozen fruit in a dump cake. Typically I like to use frozen over fresh because as they heat up, they have more liquid to mix with the cake mix. Or you can do a mix of frozen and fresh. Using frozen fruit keeps things so easy!

And some canned fruit fillings can be hit or miss in terms of how much actual fruit they have in them, so frozen fruit is a sure thing.
 
But there is just something so nostalgic about canned peaches. They work perfectly in this Blueberry Peach Dump Cake.

Can I use canned pineapple instead of peaches?

Sure! Though I do think the peaches add delicious summertime sweetness at any time of the year are why I love this to make this blueberry dump cake without pineapple, which I think is more common!

Does dump cake need to be refrigerated?

I recommend storing leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge so the fruit doesn’t spoil quickly, but this cake is so good you may not have leftovers! It is equally as good hot or cold.

Why do they call it dump cake?

That’s easy – it’s because you just dump all of the ingredients in a pan and bake!

Ways to Serve Dump Cake

  • Serve hot with some vanilla or butterscotch ice cream.
  • Serve at room temperature with a drizzle of heavy cream.
  • Serve cold with some whipped cream.
  • Eat straight from the pan, day or night.

No judgment. There isn’t a wrong way to eat this. 

I always love bringing dump cakes to potlucks or parties.

You can make them right in a disposable pan (they make some really nice looking ones now {this one isn’t available online right now but look for it in your store!}).
