How To Make Easy Air Fryer Peach Dump Cake
Step One: Start by draining the peaches; use paper towels to remove any excess liquid from the peaches.
Step Two: I made this recipe in ramekins. Therefore, I divided the recipe by 4. Spray your baking dish or ramekins with cooking spray; depending on the size of your air fryer, you may be able to make this in a casserole dish or need to prepare it in ramekins.
Step Three: Add your peaches to the bottom of the ramekins or casserole dish. Then sprinkle the cake mix on top. Add 2 pats of butter on top of each ramekin.
Step Four: Add the ramekins to the air fryer basket, and set the cook time to 12-15 minutes at 320 degrees F. Remove when the dump cake is cooked through. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Easy Air Fryer Peach Dump Cake Recipe Tips
- Drain the peaches well: Excess liquid can make the topping soggy.
- Use small ramekins: Helps cook evenly and keeps the topping crisp.
- Don’t skip the butter: The pats of butter on top create that golden, crispy finish.
- Check doneness early: Cooking times can vary depending on your air fryer model.
- Add toppings if desired: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream takes it to the next level.
Storing Instructions
- Refrigerate: Cover leftovers and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm in the air fryer at 320°F for 3–5 minutes or in the microwave until heated through.
- Freeze: Assemble the peaches and cake mix in freezer-safe ramekins, freeze before cooking, then bake straight from frozen (add extra 3–5 minutes to cooking time).
Easy Air Fryer Peach Dump Cake Recipe Faqs
Can I use canned or fresh peaches? Yes! Both work well. Just make sure to drain canned peaches to avoid a soggy topping. For fresh peaches, peel and slice before using.
Can I make this recipe for more servings? Absolutely! You can use a larger air fryer-safe dish or multiple ramekins. Just adjust the cook time slightly to ensure it’s heated through and the topping is golden.
Can I substitute the boxed cake mix? Yes, you can use any flavor of boxed cake mix, such as yellow, spice, or even lemon, depending on your taste preference.
Can this recipe be made dairy-free? Yes, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative and the recipe will still turn out delicious.
How do I get a crispy topping? Make sure your peaches are well-drained and don’t skip placing butter pats on top of the cake mix. Cook uncovered in the air fryer for a perfectly crisp topping.
Can I use frozen peaches? Yes! Thaw and drain them well before using to prevent excess liquid from making the topping soggy.
