What Is The Difference Between Cobbler And Dump Cake?
Cobbler and dump cake are both types of fruit-based desserts, but there are a few key differences between the two.
A cobbler is a fruit dessert with a biscuit or pastry topping, while a dump cake is a fruit dessert with a cake mix topping and it's often made from boxed ingredients, the process of making them is different.
What Is Dump Cake Made Of?
These ingredients are all you need to make a delicious and easy peach cobbler dump cake. The canned peach pie filling provides the base, while the yellow cake mix, butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar combine to create a delicious and crispy topping.
- Peaches in heavy syrup- This is the main ingredient and provides the base of the cobbler. The peaches are already sweetened, so it eliminates the need to prepare the peaches separately.
- Yellow cake mix- The cake mix acts as the topping for the cobbler. It provides a crispy and sweet crust that complements the peaches nicely.
- Butter- Melted butter mixed with the cake mix helps to bind the ingredients together and also adds a rich buttery flavor.
- Cinnamon- Cinnamon adds a warm and comforting flavor to the cobbler. It also adds a nice depth of flavor to the overall dessert.
- Brown sugar- The brown sugar adds a nice touch of sweetness to the cobbler and also helps to caramelize the top of the cake mix giving it a nice golden brown color.

While this isn't the most healthy recipe I've ever created, sometimes you just need something you can throw together quickly that will satisfy your sweet tooth.
Use these simple to follow steps for an amazing Peach Cobbler Dump Cake recipe that will turn out perfectly every single time.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In the prepared baking pan, spread out the can of peach pie filling.
- Sprinkle the yellow cake mix over the peaches, making sure to spread it evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Drizzle this mixture over the cake mix.
- Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.
Variations
- Swap out the fruit. Not the biggest fan of peaches or have a different flavor of pie filling sitting in your pantry? You can swap out flavors of fruit filling for a totally customizable dump cake.
- Add some texture. Sprinkle on walnuts or pecans over the cake mix before you bake for added texture and flavor.
- Double the filling. This Peach Cobbler Dump cake isn't a 1:1 filling-to-crust ratio. If the filling is your favorite part of a cobbler, pour more filling into the baking dish before adding the cake mix on top for a more even bite.
Is A Dump Cake Supposed To Be Powdery?
A dump cake is not necessarily supposed to be powdery, it's supposed to have a crumbly texture with a moist and tender cake on top and fruit filling on the bottom.
When it is baked for the correct amount of time, it should have a moist and tender texture that is similar to a regular cake, but with a slightly crumbly texture due to the dry cake mix.
What To Serve With It
