If you’ll recall, American Express launched the search for easy recipes to help celebrate their new American Express Blue Cash Preferred and Everyday cards. American Express had me send a call out to Dine & Dish readers for some of your favorite 6 ingredients or less recipes, and boy did you all come through!
I can say, I am so glad this was a random drawing situation and not a judging contest because there were so many delicious, simple recipes submitted. I am excited to have a collection of easy dessert recipes to turn to now anytime I have the need for something sweet and simple.
The winner, chosen by Random.org, for the $600 American Express Gift Card is Joyce from Ballwin, Missouri. Joyce has always been a stay at home mom / homemaker. Her children are now out of the house but she has 3 grandchildren who keep her busy. Joyce loves to read, play golf and travel.
Joyce’s winning recipe was an Easy Peach Dump Cake. She was introduced to this simple recipe by some ladies at church and she has been making it ever since. Thank you, Joyce, for submitting your favorite 6 ingredient or less recipe to help celebrate with American Express. I hope you enjoy your gift card!

I’m going to be 100% honest with you as I was very skeptical of this recipe. 3 ingredients? How on earth can it be any good? I’m eating my words along with this Peach Dump Cake because it is soooo good, especially for how simple it is. It is almost like a peach cobbler and goes very well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped topping. I think it could also easily be made using fresh peaches in a simple syrup.
Recipe: Easy Peachy Dump Cake submitted by Joyce H.
- 1 Large Can Peaches (I used a 29 ounce can and did not drain the juice)
- 1 yellow cake mix
- 1 stick butter
- Grease bottom of a 9×13 pan.
- Pour in yellow cake mix (dry).
- Pour can of peaches over cake mix.
- Melt butter and pour over the top of the peaches and cake mix.
- Bake in a pre-heated 350° for 40 minutes or until bubbly.
I used to make a recipe like this, but I put the fruit on the bottom, and I think I used canned pie filling. This was when I was in college and hadn’t done all the much cooking. I thought Dump Cake was something to be quite proud of at the time. Now I haven’t made it for years.
It is definitely yummy!
Stunning photos! And I love how simple this recipe is. Yum. I am definitely trying this before summer-end.
Congrats to Joyce!
The cake recipe sounds too good to be true. So you mix the boxed mix with a can of crushed/sliced peaches?
Pour that into a pan and THEN add the butter to the top, drizzled over? Or add the butter to the dry mix + can of peaches.
Just trying to clarify b/c this is my kinda recipe: easy!
Nope – no mixing. Just put the cake mix in the pan. Top with the peaches then top with the butter, then bake! (Then top with ice cream, but not required!)
It’s almost too good to be true! I am so trying this one!
What a fabulous recipe and congrats to the winner!
My grandma would love this!
She is a peach fan! Can’t wait to give it a try! 
Yum! We do one similar, use can cherries, can of crushed pineapple, then the yellow cake mix, stick of butter and top with pecans. Love dump cake and with Icecream, yum!! Love your photos!!! Going to try this recipe out!
Wow, how easy is that, no mixing required!
Hmm… So you just pour the cake mix, in powder form? Not gonna mix it water/milk? Wow!
Exactly – dump the dry cake mix, dump the peaches, pour the butter and bake! It’s really that easy. I was surprised too!
