Blueberry Dump Cake With Frozen Blueberries

I like to use frozen blueberries or fresh blueberries when they are in season as they will elevate your dump cake to another level with a fresh jam like filling.

This comforting, easy cobbler like dessert is always a hit at potlucks, gatherings, or to enjoy for the holidays, especially topped with ice cream or whipped cream.

It’s an easy, delicious dump cake, that feels like a homemade treat with minimal effort!

Ingredients

• 4 cups Frozen Blueberries – still frozen (or substitute fresh berries)
• ½ cup Granulated Sugar – light brown sugar would be really yummy too. 
• 3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice – about 1 fresh lemon (or use bottled lemon juice)
• 1 (15.25 ounce) Box Yellow Cake Mix (or substitute white or lemon cake mix)
• ½ cup (1 stick) Salted Butter – thinly sliced or use unsalted if your prefer
• Vanilla Ice Cream for serving is optional

How To Make Blueberry Dump Cake With Frozen Berries

Step One – Preheat your oven to 375°F. 

Step Two – In a 9×13 casserole dish, combine the blueberries, sugar and lemon juice and toss to coat.

Step Three – Spread the berry mixture into an even layer and sprinkle the cake mix over the top of the blueberries. Do not mix.

Step Four – Evenly distribute the slices of butter over the top of the cake mix.

Step Five – Bake at 375°F for 35-45 minutes or until the topping becomes golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling. Enjoy with ice cream!

Storage And Reheating Instructions

Store any leftovers without ice cream in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.

Reheat individual servings in the microwave using a microwave-safe dish with 30 second intervals until warmed through. For larger servings bake in an oven-safe dish at 325°F with loosely wrapped foil for 10 to 15 minutes or until warmed through.
