    It's peach season y'all and it just makes me super happy. One of my favorite things to do is to go peach picking in the orchards here in Arizona. I love to pick them at their peak ripeness. I am all about that peach juice running down my chin!

    Since we have dozens of peaches sitting on our kitchen countertop right now, I declared this peach week on Modern Honey. I am going to be sharing some of my favorite peach dessert recipes. We are starting off with a crazy simple peach dessert -- the FAMOUS PEACH DUMP CAKE RECIPE. You don't get much easier than this and it is always such a hit!

    This Peach Dump Cake starts with fresh peaches. You can use canned peaches in heavy syrup but when peaches are in season, I want to capitalize on it. I use fresh yellow peaches and slice them up and place in a 9 x 13 pan. Then I sprinkle on a little sugar to bring out their natural sweetness. Next, I top the peaches with a vanilla cake mix and thinly slices of butter. The butter melts into the vanilla cake mix and creates the most heavenly sweet and buttery crust. It is so heavenly!

    I whipped up this recipe in less than 10 minutes and that included peeling and slicing the fresh peaches. You can put it together in no time at all and you end up with the perfect peach dessert!

    This recipe calls for 6 cups of fresh peaches which equates to about 6-7 large peaches. I usually like to peel my peaches beforehand but you are welcome to leave on the skin. After the peaches are peeled, sprinkle them with sugar. You can add anywhere from ¼-1/2 cup of sugar on the peaches depending on how ripe and sweet the peaches are.

    You can also use your favorite vanilla or yellow boxed cake mix. I reached for the Betty Crocker French Vanilla Cake Mix but you can use any boxed cake mix your heart desires.

    This Peach Dump Cake is baked until bubbly and golden. It is best to let it cool for at least 10 minutes to allow the filling to set up. Then top it with vanilla bean ice cream and you have the quintessential summer dessert!

      I made this peach dump cake tonight, and I used 3.5 peaches (it’s all i had) & 2/3 C sugar. I sprinkled a bit of sugar on the top & put in for an additional 5 min or so. AMAZING! I then topped with homemade whipped cream & I am in love

      I mixed the cake the way it said . Then I had fresh sliced peaches. Added 1/4 cup of sugar mixed the peaches set aside while mixing the cake. Put the cake mix in an 9x13 pan then I poured the peaches in the cake mix then baked for the amount it says on the cake mix box.

      Can you use a angel food cake mix instead of the regular vanilla one?

      This was excellent! I used 1/2 cup sugar with fresh ripe Colorado peaches. I also used salted butter which lent an awesome saltiness to complement the sweet and tart. My dad said it was the best dessert he’s had in a long time and he’s a connoisseur ;). AND SO SIMPLE!! Just make sure to get butter pats all the way in the corners.

      I was wondering, for the peach dump cake do you mix the cake mix as follows on the Betty Crocker recipe? And then dump? Or do you literally just use the cake mix flour in the packaging and dump it dry??

      Thank you!

        I'm not the author of the recipe, bit when I made a dump cake in the past I simply opened the box of cake mix and "dumped" the plain, dry mix on top.

        When it comes to the peach dump cake, can frozen peaches be substituted for fresh? I know they must be thawed, but what size bag should I use?
