Making blueberry dump cake
As mentioned above, you only need 4 ingredients to make this cake recipe. Even better, it doesn’t matter what brand or type of cake mix you use.
Gluten-free and sugar-free cake mixes and pie fillings work just as perfectly as traditional ones do.
INGREDIENTS
- Cake mix - I use white cake mix. It’s also delicious with yellow cake.
- Blueberry pie filling
- Butter - I prefer to use unsalted butter, but salted will work
- Fresh blueberries - It is best not to use frozen berries unless you thaw them first. Otherwise, the excess water may cause your cake to be soggy.
Cooking tips for the perfect cake
Making a blueberry dump cake is nearly impossible to mess up. However, to guarantee the best results, here are three important tips.
Making a blueberry dump cake is nearly impossible to mess up. However, to guarantee the best results, here are three important tips.
- Grease the pan. Be sure to grease the pan well with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Otherwise, you will definitely have a difficult time removing slices from the pan.
- Preheat the oven. If the oven isn’t hot enough, the cake will not bake evenly. It’s not a happy experience, and not a tasty cake, either. Please trust me on this.
- Add ingredients in the order shown in the recipe.
- First, spread the blueberry filling into the bottom of the pan.
- Next, sprinkle all of the cake mix over the filling. Be sure to cover as much of the filling as you can.
- Scatter the cubes of butter evenly over the surface of the cake mix.
- Lastly, sprinkle the fresh blueberries over the top
Science is the reason that the order matters. Heavier ingredients (like the fresh blueberries) will sink during baking.
As a result, placing them at the top ensures that you will have blueberries throughout the cake, rather than all sitting on the bottom.
Q&A
- Can I make a crock pot dump cake?
Make the recipe exactly as shown below, except place everything into your crock pot instead of a pan.
To make it this way, grease the bottom and sides of the crock pot, then spread the blueberry pie filling in the bottom. Then, top with the cake mix, the butter, and then the fresh blueberries.
Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.
- How should I serve it?
I like to serve it individually in bowls, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream over the top.
