One of the fantastic things about dump cakes is that they only need a few ingredients! You'll want your pie filling, a cake mix, and some butter.

• Blueberry Pie Filling - 42 ounces of blueberry pie filling (which is equivalent to two 21-ounce cans).
• White Cake Mix - One 15.25-ounce package of white cake mix. If you want to mix up the flavors, you can also try out some yellow or lemon cake mix.
• Butter - A ½ - ¾cup of melted butter.

🔪 How To Make A Blueberry Dump Cake

Dump cakes are possibly the easiest dessert out there! You'll need a 9x13 baking dish, a silicone spatula, and a bowl to melt the butter!

This recipe makes one 9x13 cake, which can be cut into 12 servings!

1. Preheat. Get started by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spraying a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Smooth out the fruit. Pour 42 ounces of blueberry pie filling into the prepared baking dish and use a silicone spatula to spread it into an even layer, covering the entire bottom of the dish.
3. Combine. In a mixing bowl, mix together 15.25 ounces of white cake mix and ¾ cup of melted butter until well combined. Break apart or crumble the chunks of the cake mix and butter mixture over the blueberry layer.
4. Bake. Transfer the dish to the oven and bake, uncovered, at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the cake mix topping begins to turn a nice golden color and the juices are bubbling.
5. Serve. Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and allow the dump cake to cool slightly before serving.

While this dump cake can easily be served by itself, a scoop of delicious ice cream always makes it better! Feel free to add a dollop of whipped cream, too! Enjoy!

💭 Tips & Notes

• You can also mix in 2 cups of fresh or thawed blueberries!
• This recipe calls for 15.25 ounces of cake mix, which is equivalent to one standard box of mix. If your boxed cake mix is slightly more or less than the 15.25 ounces here, it will still work wonderfully.
• You can use anywhere between½ - ¾ cups(or 1 to 1 ½ sticks)of butter. Opting for the full¾ cups will help to ensure you have no dry spots on your topping.
• Combining the melted butter with the cake mix helps to achieve a nice cobbler-style topping. Alternatively, you could sprinkle the cake mix directly onto the blueberry pie filling and then drizzle the melted butter over top.
• If the topping of your cake is browning before it's done baking, you can cover the dish with foil and let it finish baking.

🥡 Storing & Reheating

Make sure to let your cake cool completely before storing it. Either wrap the dish tightly with plastic wrap or place the dump cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

This cake can also be frozen! Place your blueberry dump cake into a freezer storage container, and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

Reheating Blueberry Dump Cake

Bake at 325°F(160°C)for 10-20 minutes or until your blueberry dump cake has heated through. Of course, you can always pop single servings into the microwave and use short 30-second bursts on high power until warm.
