2) Easy Snickerdoodle Peach Cobbler Dump Cake Recipe

I’ll be honest, the first time I made this, I expected it to be “fine.” You know the kind — warm, a little gooey, decent for a quick dessert. But when I pulled that peach cobbler dump cake from the oven, with its bubbling edges and golden cinnamon top, I nearly wept. And then I grabbed a spoon before it cooled. No regrets.

Peach cobbler easy recipes don’t always bring that fresh-baked smell you dream about, but this one does. It’s what I imagine every grandmother’s house smelled like on a Sunday afternoon. Add a scoop of ice cream, and suddenly you’re eight years old again, barefoot in the kitchen, ignoring dinner because dessert’s calling.

I’ve tried plenty of dump cake recipes in my day, but this one wins. It hits that sweet spot — not too sugary, not too heavy, and definitely not one of those desserts that tries too hard. Just honest, real flavor. The cinnamon sugar crust almost mimics snickerdoodle cookies, which is probably why it vanishes so quickly around here.

3) Ingredients for Snickerdoodle Peach Cobbler Dump Cake

2 (15.25 oz) cans sliced peaches in heavy syrup: These peaches are the base of our peach cobbler dump cake. You’ll want all the syrup — it keeps the cake moist and adds natural sweetness.

1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz): Dry, straight from the box. Don’t mix it. Just dump and spread. It forms that irresistible buttery crust on top.

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted: This adds richness and helps the cake mix bake up golden. Make sure it’s melted so it pours evenly over the dry mix.

1/4 cup granulated sugar: A little extra sweetness never hurts, especially when it’s going to mix with cinnamon to give us that snickerdoodle kick.

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon: Here’s where that snickerdoodle vibe really comes through. It toasts up beautifully in the oven and smells amazing.

4) How to Make Snickerdoodle Peach Cobbler Dump Cake

Step 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. While that heats, grab your 9×13 baking dish and pour in both cans of peaches — syrup and all.

Step 2. Take your cake mix and sprinkle it evenly over the peaches. Do not stir it. I repeat: do not stir. Let it sit there like a cozy blanket on those peaches.

Step 3. Melt your butter and drizzle it over the dry cake mix. It won’t cover every inch, but don’t panic. The oven magic will handle the rest.

Step 4. In a small bowl, mix together your cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle it generously over the top. This is what gives us the snickerdoodle crust.

Step 5. Bake uncovered for about 45 to 50 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top is golden, and you can see the edges bubbling with peachy goodness.

Step 6. Let it cool just a bit before serving. Trust me, it’s molten right out of the oven. Top it with ice cream if you like a little melt with your bite.

5) Tips for Making Snickerdoodle Peach Cobbler Dump Cake

If your cake mix clumps in places, don’t worry. A few dry pockets won’t hurt. Just spread it as evenly as you can without stirring. The butter will work its way through during baking.

Want a little texture? Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking. They’ll toast up nicely and add a satisfying crunch to that soft peachy filling.

Stick with peaches in syrup, not juice. The syrup thickens in the oven, helping the cake cook evenly. Juice doesn’t quite cut it for a peach cobbler dump cake like this.

6) Making Snickerdoodle Peach Cobbler Dump Cake Ahead of Time

If you want to get ahead, assemble everything in the dish — but wait to bake. Cover it tightly and refrigerate for up to a day. Then when it’s time for dessert, slide it straight into the oven.

Or bake it, let it cool completely, and cover it. It’ll hold up well on the counter for a day or in the fridge for a couple more. You can always warm individual portions in the microwave if needed.

I like prepping it in the morning and baking it in the evening. That way the cinnamon sugar gets a little time to soak into the top, which makes it even more snickerdoodle-like.

7) Storing Leftover Snickerdoodle Peach Cobbler Dump Cake

Leftovers? Lucky you. Just pop them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge. They’ll be good for about three days, but good luck making them last that long.

You can reheat a serving in the microwave for about 30 seconds. It’ll soften the top just enough while keeping the peach filling warm and juicy.

If you’re into cold desserts, try a spoonful straight from the fridge. It firms up a bit and tastes almost like a chilled peach pie. Strange? Maybe. Delicious? Definitely.
