Description

Blueberry dump cake delivers pure comfort with minimal effort. Simple ingredients meld into a rustic dessert that brings Southern charm straight to your table without complicated techniques.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Blueberry Ingredients:

  • 2 (about 21 ounces / 595 grams) cans blueberry pie filling
  • 2 cups (about 10 ounces / 280 grams) fresh or frozen blueberries

Cake and Butter Ingredients:

  • 1 (15.25 ounces / 432 grams) box yellow, white, or lemon cake mix
  • 1 ½ sticks (6 ounces / 170 grams) cold unsalted butter
  • Additional unsalted butter for greasing the baking dish

Optional Serving Ingredient:

  • Vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and position the rack in the middle of the oven for optimal heat distribution.
  2. Generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with a light coating of butter to prevent sticking.
  3. Pour the blueberry pie filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom to create a vibrant fruit base.
  4. Carefully sprinkle the entire box of cake mix over the pie filling, ensuring complete and uniform coverage.
  5. Slice the butter into thin, delicate pieces and meticulously arrange them across the cake mix layer, making sure to cover the entire surface completely.
  6. Gently scatter fresh or frozen blueberries on top of the butter layer, distributing them evenly for bursts of additional fruity flavor.
  7. Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 60 to 65 minutes, watching for a golden-brown color, bubbling edges, and a crispy, caramelized crust.
  8. Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  9. Optional: Complement the warm cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.

Notes

  • Toss fresh or frozen blueberries for an extra burst of fruity goodness right before baking.
  • Layer ingredients carefully without mixing to create a magical, rustic dessert that looks effortlessly delicious.
  • Choose butter slices strategically to ensure every bite has a rich, golden-brown crispy top that melts in your mouth.
