This Blueberry Dump Cake recipe is definitely one you’re going to want to hold onto! Dump cans are the best because you pretty much just dump everything into a dish and bake! Plus they usually don’t require more than a handful of ingredients.

What’s In It?

This delicious dessert recipe is made with blueberry pie filling, boxed cake mix, and salted butter! You could use a homemade filling recipe, if you’d like, or simply just grab a couple of cans at the grocery store!

I used a French Vanilla cake mix, but I’ve made it with white cake mix and yellow cake mix before too. Spice Cake would also be a great option if you’re making it in the fall months!

How To Make It

The beauty of dump cakes is how easy they are to make! Just 4 steps and you’ll be pulling this yummy dessert out of the oven in less than an hour!

  1. Dump the pie filling gets poured into the baking dish that’s been coated with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Sprinkle the dry cake mix on top of the pie filling.
  3. Top the cake mix with butter. You can melt the butter or cut it into even slices (like I do) and cover the top of the cake mix with it.
  4. Bake the cake until the top is golden brown and the pie filling is bubbling through around the edges of the baking pan.

Can You Make This In A Slow Cooker?

Absolutely! Just follow the same steps as you would if you were baking and cook for 2 hours on high or 4 hours on low.

How To Reheat:

Simply pop it back in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes.

Can You Make Other Flavors?

Of course, try making this recipe with your favorite pie filling flavor! I highly recommend Strawberry Dump Cake and you can even experiment with the cake flavors too!

How To Serve It:

I highly recommend serving this with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but you can also use whipped cream or whipped topping. It can be enjoyed warm or room temperature.

    I made this blueberry dump cake. Only I used sugar free cake n my fresh blueberries. What I had on hand. My family loved it. Now I will try with different free. Thanks for the receipt. Marilyn

    Iโ€™ve had it in the oven for over an hour and itโ€™s still powdery. Should I stir it ?

    1. Did you put the butter on top? There may be some small areas that are powdery but for the most part the butter should melt into it.

  3. I’m confused, do you make this in the oven or a slow cooker? Use blueberries or strawberries? Directions are misleading.

    1. You could make this with Blueberry, Strawberry, or really any canned pie filling. The directions are for baking but in the notes there are directions for slow cooking if you’d prefer.

    2. Directions are NOT misleading. You obviously can’t read. Go back to school:)

  4. PAULA BACHAND says:

    Can you use fresh blueberries? And how much?

    1. Unfortunately, pie filling is an essential part of the recipe. Fresh blueberries won’t cook the same.
