Blueberry Dump Cake is a simple, delicious dessert made by ‘dumping’ ingredients into a baking dish and letting the oven work its magic. The result is a sweet, gooey cake with a crunchy topping and bursting with blueberries.

Ingredients

  • For the cake:
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • For the filling:
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) blueberry pie filling (or 4 cups fresh blueberries mixed with 1 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch)
  • For the topping:
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the filling: Pour the blueberry pie filling (or fresh blueberry mixture) into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  3. Add the cake mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the blueberries. Do not stir; just scatter it on top.
  4. Add the butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix, trying to cover as much of the dry cake mix as possible.
  5. Optional topping: Sprinkle the cinnamon and chopped nuts over the top for extra flavor and crunch.
  6. Bake the cake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
  7. Serve: Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
