Delicious Blueberry Dump Cake Recipe for Dessert Lovers

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

9 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish

    Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

    This prevents sticking and makes for easier cleanup.
  3. Layer the Blueberries

    Evenly spread the fresh blueberries in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

    You can use frozen blueberries if fresh are not available.
  4. Add the Cake Mix

    Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the blueberries.

    Do not stir; just let the mix rest on top.
  5. Mix Butter and Water

    In a small bowl, combine melted butter, water, and optional vanilla extract.

    Mix well before pouring to ensure even distribution.
  6. Pour Mixture Over Cake Mix

    Pour the butter and water mixture evenly over the cake mix layer.

    Make sure to cover all areas of the cake mix.
  7. Sprinkle with Cinnamon and Sugar

    Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over the top for added flavor.

    This enhances the sweetness and aroma of the cake.
  8. Bake the Cake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown.

    Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  9. Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before serving.

    Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
