How to Make Blueberry Dump Cake
As promised, here is the quick visual guide toe making this easy blueberry dessert. Full printable recipe card is right below this.
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Use non stick cooking spray to coat the inside of your baking dish (2 quart size, 8 x 11 inch baking pan).
Scoop blueberry pie filling into the dish and spread it out. Make sure blueberries are well distributed.
Next, dump a box of yellow cake mix on top and spread that over the blueberry layer.
Melt your butter and slowly drizzle it over the dry cake mix surface. Cover as well as you can and try to avoid large pools of it.
Now pop it in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. After about 15 minutes peek in and if a section is dry, drag a little pooled butter over it.
When the top is lightly browned like this your dump cake is ready to take out of the oven. The butter has seeped in and cooked the cake mix into a delicious pie crust like topping.
Serve the blueberry dump cake warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.
