Blueberry Dump Cake: Aunt Carrie’s Famous Potluck Dessert

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans (about 400 g / 14 oz each) blueberry pie filling (or homemade blueberry filling)
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (about 430–450 g / 15–16 oz)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (or 1 stick sliced thin)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (optional, for extra fruitiness)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Add fruit base:
    Spread the blueberry pie filling evenly in the bottom of the dish.
    (If using fresh or frozen blueberries, mix them in here.)
  3. Add cake mix:
    Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the fruit layer. Do NOT stir.
  4. Add butter:
    Drizzle melted butter evenly over the entire surface. Try to cover as much of the dry mix as possible.
  5. Optional cinnamon:
    Lightly sprinkle cinnamon on top for warmth and depth.
  6. Bake:
    Bake for 40–50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling at the edges.

🍽️ To Serve:

  • Serve warm or room temperature
  • Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for best results

🔥 Tips for Best Results:

  • Make sure butter is evenly distributed—dry spots = powdery topping
  • Let it rest 10–15 minutes after baking so it thickens slightly
  • For extra crisp topping, bake the last 5 minutes under broil (watch carefully!)

🧡 Variations:

  • Add lemon zest for a bright citrus twist
  • Mix in chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch
  • Swap blueberry filling with cherry, peach, or apple
