Blueberry Dump Cake is an easy 3-ingredient dessert made with blueberry pie filling, cake mix, and butter. It bakes until the blueberry filling is hot and bubbly with a buttery, golden cake topping.
Dump cakes are one of my favorite desserts when I need something easy because there’s no mixing or complicated prep. I can layer everything right in the baking dish, pop it in the oven, and have a warm dessert ready for everyone.

Tips I Found Helpful 💙
- Spread everything evenly: An even layer of pie filling and cake mix helps the dessert bake consistently.
- Don’t mix the layers: Sprinkle the dry cake mix right over the blueberry filling—no stirring needed.
- Slice the butter thin: Thin slices make it easier to cover as much of the cake mix as possible.
- Cover the dry spots: Space the butter evenly over the top so you don’t end up with patches of dry cake mix.
- Let it rest: Give the dump cake a few minutes to cool and thicken before scooping. 🫐
