Ingredients for Smoked Peach Dump Cake
- Sliced peaches – Canned, sliced peaches in heavy syrup are the star of the show. If you are unable to get your hands on a can of peaches, try canned pears or apples.
- Yellow cake mix – Yellow box cake will help the topping to get a nice golden color unlike a white cake mix. But if a white cake mix is all you have, it will still taste great!
- Ground cinnamon – You can’t have a peach dessert without a dash of cinnamon to add a sweet, warm flavor.
- Butter – Evenly dispersed on top of the cake mix, butter creates a crumbly top for this dump cake.
How To Make Dump Cake on The Smoker

Place dump cake on smoker for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the middle is set.
Remove from the smoker and serve warm or at room temperature.
Storage
Store leftover peach dump cake in an airtight container or covered tightly with foil in the fridge up to 4 days.
Pro Tips
- This is called a dump cake for a reason. Do not mix the peaches and cake mix! This will affect the final texture of the cake.
- If you decide you want to bake your peach dump cake in the oven, preheat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for about 40 minutes, or until top is golden brown.
What Type of Wood Should I Use?
There are a variety of good wood chip options for this dessert including cherry, apple, peach, alder, pecan and maple. These are more mild, subtle wood flavors.
Why Is My Cake Still Powdery?
It is important to evenly distribute the slices of butter on top of the cake mix. This will ensure the whole cake is fully moistened. Smoke it until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
