Description
Irresistible blueberry dump cake brings classic Southern comfort to dessert tables with minimal effort. Simple ingredients and quick assembly ensure delicious results for home bakers seeking sweet satisfaction.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (21 oz | 595 g) blueberry pie filling
- 1 box (15.25 oz | 432 g) yellow or white cake mix
- ½ cup (115 g | 8 tbsps) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup (115 g | 8 tbsps) unsalted butter, sliced into thin pats
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Foundation Layer: Spread blueberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish, creating a rich, vibrant base.
- Flavor Enhancement: Dust ground cinnamon over the pie filling to infuse a warm, aromatic dimension to the dessert.
- Cake Mix Distribution: Uniformly scatter dry cake mix across the entire surface of the pie filling, ensuring complete coverage.
- Butter Integration: Generously drizzle melted butter over the cake mix, strategically placing additional butter pats to promote golden browning and rich flavor.
- Baking Process: Slide the assembled dessert into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top achieves a golden-brown crust and the blueberry filling erupts in tempting bubbles around the edges.
- Resting and Serving: Allow the dump cake to rest for 10 minutes, letting the layers meld and intensify. Serve warm, accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent finale.
Notes
- Adjust Moisture Levels: Add a splash of water or extra butter if the cake mix appears too dry, ensuring a perfectly moist and tender texture.
- Control Sweetness: Reduce sugar by using a less sweet pie filling or mixing fresh blueberries with minimal added sugar for a more balanced dessert.
- Prevent Burning: Cover the top with aluminum foil if the cake mix browns too quickly, protecting the surface from excessive browning while allowing thorough baking.
- Customize Texture: Sprinkle chopped nuts or oats over the cake mix for added crunch and depth, transforming the traditional dump cake into a more complex dessert experience.
