A great simple dessert from my friend’s mother. Fresh Peach Dump Cake aka Peach Delight is so easy to make and perfect for any occasion.

There’s nothing like a fresh peach in the summer. While we were on vacation in South Carolina I made sure to take advantage of the freshest peaches and make my friend’s Peach Delight recipe. 

This recipe came from her mother and it’s a dump cake recipe. If you haven’t heard of this, a dump cake is simply a cake that you make by dumping a few ingredients into a pan and baking it.

In this recipe, you can use a large can of diced peaches, but I decided to use fresh peaches as they were ripe for the picking. 🙂  I did add a little sugar and water because I wanted to make sure that there was enough liquid for the cake mix to absorb.

You need enough peaches to cover the bottom of the pan.

Then layer your cake mix and butter slices. 

Not the prettiest looking cake on face value which is why you want to serve it with whip cream and a peach slice.

It’s nice and dense. The fresh peaches add a great fresh and tart flavor the whole family will love.

This fresh peach dump cake is perfect for vacation because you don’t need any fancy equipment and very few ingredients. Plus it makes a good 18 – 24 servings.  Just the right amount for our large family.

Fresh Dump Cake Variation Ideas:

• Blueberries
• Raspberries
• Blackberries
• Strawberries
• Pineapple
• Mango
• Pear
• Plum

I don’t think apples give off enough juice but you could heat them on the stove but that would add an extra step.

Try combining two fruits together. I think blueberries pair well with peaches. I even made a blueberry peach cobbler using sugar cookie dough. Another simple and very tasty dessert.
