Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Filling:
- 2 cans (21 ounces | 595 grams) blueberry pie filling
Cake Mix:
- 1 box (15.25 ounces | 432 grams) yellow or white cake mix
Butter and Spices:
- ½ cup (115 grams | 8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup (115 grams | 8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, sliced into thin pats
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by coating a 9×13-inch dish with a light layer of butter or cooking spray, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- Carefully distribute the blueberry pie filling across the bottom of the prepared dish, creating an even, vibrant foundation for the dessert.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the pie filling to introduce a subtle, warming essence that complements the blueberry’s natural sweetness.
- Gently cascade the dry cake mix over the pie filling, meticulously covering every inch to guarantee a uniform texture throughout the dessert.
- Drizzle melted butter across the cake mix, then strategically place small butter pats to promote even browning and rich, buttery flavor.
- Transfer the assembled dessert to a preheated oven set at 350°F (175°C), allowing it to bake for 40-45 minutes until the surface transforms into a golden-brown landscape and the blueberry filling bubbles enticingly around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the dump cake rest for approximately 10 minutes, allowing the layers to settle and intensify in flavor.
- Serve the warm dessert alongside a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cloud-like dollop of whipped cream to elevate the indulgent experience.
Notes
- Customize the cake mix by using gluten-free or alternative flour blends for those with dietary restrictions.
- Opt for fresh blueberries instead of pie filling to reduce sugar and create a more natural dessert experience.
- Experiment with different fruit combinations like mixed berries or peach pie filling to add variety and excitement to the classic recipe.
- Enhance the texture by sprinkling chopped nuts like almonds or pecans over the cake mix before baking for extra crunch and depth of flavor.
