Blueberry Dump Cake

- 3 ingredients
- Easy to follow steps

The fruit base could be anything, cherries, pineapple, lemon curd, peaches, or in this cake blueberries. No matter what your fruit filling is, this cake will be delicious, especially if you serve it warm with a scoop of good vanilla ice cream!
Ingredient Notes
- Blueberry Pie Filling: I like to use two cans of 21 oz blueberry pie filling for the convenience of not having to make the filling from scratch. You can also use different fruit fillings like cherry, peach, etc.
- Cake Mix: I prefer the yellow cake mix you can buy from any store. You can also make your own using my recipe here.
- Butter: Salted or unsalted melted butter.
How To Make Blueberry Dump Cake
- Prep the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Assemble the cake: Dump the blueberry pie filling into a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread it evenly over the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the yellow cake mix over the blueberry pie filling. Drizzle with melted butter over the surface of the cake mix. Don’t worry, you won’t have enough to drizzle over the entire surface.
- Bake: Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for up to 1 hour or until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream, if preferred.

Can I combine blueberry and crushed pineapple instead of 2 cans of blueberry? Also, is butter enough to make it rise? How does the unbuttered mix cook correctly?
You can mix the two. The butter will melt through the mix and cook properly, it won’t really raise much.
My family loved this recipe! We put vanilla ice cream on top and everyone had seconds! Thank you:)
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!
