Easy Blueberry Dump Cake Recipe
Another dump cake to the rescue! This one is a combination of blueberry and lemon, so it’s basically perfect for summer, but can certainly be enjoyed year round. This Blueberry Dump Cake recipe uses just 2 pantry items, plus butter and fresh blueberries, and is always on stand-by when I want a super delicious dessert with practically no hands-on time.
It doesn’t get much easier than dump cakes – there’s no chopping up ingredients or batter to prepare. Just dump (a la “dump” cake) the ingredients into the baking dish, pop it in the oven, and you’ll have an awesome dessert to enjoy in under an hour. It’s a great potluck addition.
Ingredients Needed
Just 4 ingredients go into this blueberry pie filling dump cake.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)
- Blueberry pie filling – Our star ingredient. 2, 21 ounce cans. (If you can’t find 21 ounce cans, feel free to use ones that contain slightly more or less. This recipe is pretty forgiving.)
- Lemon cake mix – For the topping. Lemon and blueberry love one another.
- Melted butter – Helps create the crisp, golden top.
- Fresh blueberries – Sprinkled on top before baking. (Try to avoid frozen berries. The liquid seeps into the cake mix and can make it soggy.)
Recipe Variations
Here are some ways to customize it.
- Switch up the cake mix topping. We love the combination of blueberry and lemon, but vanilla or yellow cake mix can be used instead of lemon, if preferred.
- Make it more lemony – Stir in some lemon zest for even more lemony flavor.
- Add in some nuts. Finely chopped walnuts, almonds, or pecans can be added to the filling for some textural crunch and another flavor level.
- Include some cinnamon and/or vanilla. These both add extra flavor.

Serving Suggestions
Blueberry dump cake is best served warm or at room temperature, but you do want to let it sit for at least 15 minutes out of the oven before serving. Otherwise, it’s super hot!
To me, dump cake isn’t complete without a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Whipped cream is also delicious, or even white chocolate chips (then the chocolate chips get all melty on top!)
How to Store, Freeze, and Reheat
- Storing leftovers. Leftover blueberry dump cake can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just cover the baking dish with foil or transfer to an airtight container.
- Reheat. To reheat, pop a serving in the microwave for 30 seconds or so, until warm.
- Freeze. You can also freeze your dump cake for up to 3 months. Wrap in plastic wrap and again in foil. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
