Blueberry Dump Cake Recipe (So Easy with 3 Ingredients!)
A dump cake recipe is something that everyone should know how to make! Whether it’s because you’re short on time or need something quickly, or maybe you just want a sweet treat that doesn’t involve using several bowls, whatever the reason a dump cake is the perfect dessert to make.
This blueberry dump cake is not like a traditional cake that get’s cut into even slices. It’s more of a crisp or cobbler type dessert that gets scooped up and then topped with ice cream or whipped cream.
You’ll love the juicy blueberry flavor in this dessert. One pan, 3 ingredients, and you literally dump the ingredients in & go. That’s it!

- Pour the blueberry pie filling into the baking dish and spread it out evenly across the bottom.
- Next, sprinkle the dry contents from the cake mix box evenly over top of the blueberry pie filling.
- Drizzle the melted butter over top, trying to get every part of the cake mix.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until it’s golden brown and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before scooping it up to serve.
- This dump cake is best served warm topped with ice cream or whipped cream.
FAQ’s + Tips For Success
- How Do I Serve Blueberry Dump Cake? : Because this is a sweet & rich dessert, we think it’s best served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or try serving it with whipped cream. Use a wooden spoon to scoop some dump cake out (don’t worry about cutting even slices) and place it into the serving plate or bowl.
- Cake Mix : The recipe calls for a yellow cake mix but you can use any variety you prefer. I have successfully made this dump cake using a vanilla cake mix and a golden butter cake mix.
- How To Store Leftovers of Dump Cake : Store the leftovers inside the fridge, cover the pan with a lid or plastic wrap, for up to 5 days. You can eat it chilled from the fridge or warm up a serving of it in the microwave before enjoying.
- Should I Use Salted Butter or Unsalted Butter? : Either one can be used, it just depends on what you prefer or dietary needs. I prefer using salted butter for this recipe and for all my baking. I think it provides much better flavor and things just taste better when I use salted butter.
For fresh blueberry flavor, try adding in 2 cups of blueberries into the cake pan along with the blueberry pie filling. It provides juicy texture and bright fruity flavor!
