Description

Blueberry Dump Cake delivers pure comfort straight from your baking dish, with minimal effort and maximum deliciousness. Juicy berries and buttery crumble combine for a dessert that’ll make your family crowd around the table asking for seconds.


Ingredients

Scale

Cake and Filling:

  • 15.2 ounces yellow cake mix
  • 31.5 ounces blueberry pie filling

Fruit:

  • ½ cups fresh blueberries

Butter and Topping:

  • ½ cup salted butter, cold

Instructions

  1. Position your oven rack to the middle and preheat to 350°F, preparing a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Evenly spread the entire 31.5 ounces of blueberry pie filling across the bottom of the baking dish.
  3. Distribute the 15.2 ounces of yellow cake mix in a uniform layer directly over the pie filling, ensuring complete coverage.
  4. Slice the ½ cup cold salted butter into ultra-thin pats, strategically placing them across the entire surface of the dry cake mix.
  5. Scatter ½ cup fresh blueberries over the butter-covered cake mix for extra bursts of fruit.
  6. Transfer the dish to the preheated 350°F oven and bake for exactly 30 minutes.
  7. Check that the topping has browned and the blueberry filling bubbles around the edges.
  8. If any dry cake mix remains visible, add a few extra butter slivers during the final baking minutes.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the dump cake rest for precisely 15 minutes, allowing the filling to slightly cool and set.
  10. Serve warm, ensuring the filling has stabilized enough to scoop cleanly.

Notes

  • Cold butter works best for creating an even layer that covers the entire cake mix surface perfectly.
  • Fresh blueberries add a burst of flavor and texture to the top of the dump cake, making it look and taste more vibrant.
  • Letting the dump cake rest for 15 minutes helps the filling set and makes serving easier without losing that delicious saucy consistency.
  • Check the cake during the last few minutes of baking and add extra butter to any dry cake mix spots for a more uniform golden-brown topping.
