One of my favorite parts of Summer is the fresh fruits and vegetables. We’ve had a square foot garden and I love going out there and gathering fresh ingredients. I can’t wait to build a new one at our new home this coming spring! So when I spied some beautiful peaches, nectarines and blueberries at the farmer’s market I snapped them up.
- 5-6 cups or ripe peaches or nectarines, sliced. If using peaches, peel the peaches.
- 2 cups of blueberries
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 box Cake Mix (white or yellow is what I usually use)
- 1 stick of butter, chilled (you can use half a stick if you are watching calories)
- 1/4 cup sugar (to sprinkle on top)
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
- Put fruit at the bottom of your pan. I usually use a 9×12 casserole dish
- Then mix in the water and lemon juice.
- Pour the cake mix over the top and stir the mix into the fruit.
- Then take the chilled butter and slice off small pieces on top of the cake and fruit mixture.
- Sprinkle sugar over the top and pop it into the oven.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of your pan. It will be done when the mixture is bubbling and brown on top.
- Serve with ice cream!
- Bask in the adoration of your family!

I just made this and it was amazing!!! I did use lemon oil instead of lemon juice. So GOOD!!! Thanks for sharing this recipe!!
Can you just use blueberries? MY kids aren’t fans of peaches
Can we use frozen fruit?
Do you mix the cake mix in dry or on box directions? Thanks
Yum!!!!
Goodness JEN! I’ll ruin my diet if you keep up all these great posts! i know its healthier with fruit, but i am not too sure about the cake mix :p
It looks so yummy!! Ah well, i’ll just have my soup 🙁
You say, “Sprinkle sugar over the top and pop it into the oven.” How much sugar?
Hi Patti!
I sprinkled sugar to lightly cover the top of the mixture – about 1/4 of a cup. It carmelizes on top and adds a little bit of a crunchy texture 🙂

Great recipe for apple-picking this fall! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Kerri! I bet it would be so good with apples, I can’t wait to try that!

We call that “dump cake”. So yummy!
Hi Kristin!
Yes!! I think that’s what my mom called it too!

Wish you’d posted this recipe last week! LOL I made a cobbler to take to a friend’s house on Sunday night and it was blech. The topping wasn’t good, and the topping is what totally makes it for me with a cobbler. Good thing there was homemade vanilla ice cream to make up for it, but next time I’m using this recipe!
Thanks Heidi!! I think you will like it. The cake mix makes it easy to make and makes it so tasty!

Posted earlier that I wondered where the butter was used. As I looked at the photo, it appears that the butter is shaved, or cut into pieces and placed on top of the cake mix. I think I have solved the mystery. Thanks so much for sharing! Looks yummy!
Hi Kathryn!
Yes! That’s right, you slice off the chilled butter onto the top of the cake mixture right before you pop it into the oven.

This looks so good!
It reallly is so yummy!

This sounds amaze!!! But am I missing where the butter comes in? 😉
Hi Diana!
You slice off the butter and put it on top of the cake mixture right before you pop it into the oven. It was so late last night when I was writing it up that I missed putting that step in. I have updated it. Thanks!

I completely understand! I was up reading this with a newborn baby. Thanks!! Can’t wait to make it!
Quick question…wasn’t sure how to use the butter listed in the recipe.
