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