Description
Irresistible blueberry dump cake delivers pure dessert magic with minimal effort. Fresh berries and buttery crumble create a heavenly treat you cannot resist.
Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Berries:
- 4 cups blueberries
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
Baking Base:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Combine fresh and frozen blueberries in the prepared baking dish, spreading them evenly across the bottom to create a vibrant berry foundation.
- Sprinkle granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt over the blueberries, gently mixing to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Evenly pour the dry yellow cake mix directly over the seasoned blueberries, creating a uniform layer without mixing the ingredients.
- Cut the unsalted butter into thin slices and strategically place them across the top of the cake mix, ensuring complete coverage to help the cake develop a golden, crispy texture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top turns a rich golden brown and the blueberry filling begins to bubble around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the dump cake cool for 15-20 minutes, allowing the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Ensure blueberries are evenly spread to create a consistent fruity base that guarantees delicious bites throughout the dessert.
- Replace yellow cake mix with gluten-free alternatives for those with dietary restrictions, maintaining the cake’s delightful texture and flavor.
- Experiment with mixed berries like raspberries or blackberries to add complexity and create a vibrant, colorful twist on the classic recipe.
- Reduce sugar content by using fresh, ripe blueberries and cutting the added sugar by half for a lighter, more naturally sweet dessert option.
