Print Recipe

A quick and easy peach cobbler dump cake featuring salted butter and fresh vanilla bean seeds for a rich, moist texture and subtle floral sweetness. Perfect for busy weeknights or last-minute guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 oz / 425 g each) canned peaches, drained but reserve a bit of juice
  • 1 box (15.25 oz / 432 g) yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 226 g) salted butter, sliced thinly
  • Seeds scraped from 1 fresh vanilla bean pod (or 1 tsp vanilla bean paste)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the drained canned peaches, about 2 tablespoons reserved peach juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and scraped vanilla bean seeds. Stir gently to mix without breaking up the peaches too much.
  3. Spread the peach mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the peaches without stirring.
  5. Slice the salted butter into thin pats and distribute evenly over the cake mix layer.
  6. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. Do not stir the layers before baking to maintain the layered texture. Thinly slice the butter for even melting. Fresh vanilla bean seeds add superior flavor compared to extract. Lemon juice brightens the peaches and balances sweetness. Variations include using fresh peaches, mixed berries, gluten-free or dairy-free substitutions, and adding nuts or spices.
