Did you know that you can make other things in your slow cooker besides dinner?  Take this slow cooker peach dump cake for example.  Forget about heating up your oven and make this delicious and simple dessert in your slow cooker instead.  Yum!

3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Peach Dump Cake

I recently learned about the world of “dump cakes.”  Simply “dump” the ingredients into a pan and bake.  Mind.  Blown.

Since I’m a crockpot-addict, of course I had to try and make one in my slow cooker.  I added two pounds of fresh peaches, a box of vanilla cake mix, and a stick of butter to my slow cooker, and ended up with sweet, golden brown perfection.

Reasons why I love this slow cooker peach dump cake:

  1. It’s super easy to make.
  2. IT’S DELICIOUS.
  3. Peaches are on sale for $.77 per pound in Pittsburgh right now, so it’s an incredibly budget-friendly dish.

(I also recommend making large amounts of this slow cooker peach jam while peaches are in season.)

This slow cooker peach dump cake is one of those recipes where I don’t recommend making any changes or substitutions.  It’s seriously perfect as-is.  The peaches cook down until they are soft and tart, the cake mix is sweet and has a wonderful vanilla flavor, and, let’s face it, everything is better with butter.

I made this cake in my 6-quart slow cooker, but I think it would work in smaller or larger slow cookers too.  Just increase or decrease the cooking time accordingly until the cake is cooked through and golden brown.

Slow Cooker Peach Dump Cake

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ripe peaches (about 4 medium-large sized fruits), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 box of yellow cake mix
  • 1 stick of butter (I used unsalted), cut into 4 pieces

Directions

  1. Add the peaches to the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Top with dry cake mix.
  3. Top with butter.
  4. Add lid and cook on “low” setting for 4 hours or until top is golden brown.

Grab a spoon and dig in or act more civilized by serving on a plate with vanilla ice cream.  Yum.

Doubling usually requires one or more adjustments to cooking time, pans, or measurements of ingredients. When I double cake or cookie recipes, I always make two separate recipes. When I’ve doubled your Sweet and Sour BBQ Meatballs, I double the meatballs only, no more pineapple, and then add a portion of the other ingredients. (Never used broth, at first by mistake, but since it turned out great, now by design. Only juice from can of pineapple and it’s a hit every time!)

Kelly….I was so excited to read in today’s newsletter that you are going to start seeing about smaller recipes for smaller slow cookers. I’m single, and I just purchased my first slow cooker…a 2 quart size. I’m excited to use it, but have no idea about quantities and times! If I wanted to make this dump cake, what would you suggest? The slower cooker is from Rival and has a glass lid and insert, if that matters 🙂 Thanks for all you do in the name of slow cooking!

Hi I live in the UK and am looking to buy a slow cooker. I just wondered what model you have and which you would recommend for a family of 4. Your recipes look great and I can’t wait to try some.
thanks

I love this recipe! I’ve made in the oven. I have found pocket of dry mix before though so I like to mix the butter melted into cake mix and top.

Hi, I’m in the UK as well. How many grams in a stick of butter please? Our packs are 250g & will any seasonal fruit do? It’s a little late for peaches here now

Can I use fresh peaches that I froze? Thaw them first of course……………or would this add too much moisture?
