Lemon Blueberry Dump Cake
Description
This Lemon Blueberry Dump Cake starts by spreading blueberry pie filling at the bottom of a baking dish, enhanced with fresh lemon zest to add brightness. The lemon cake mix spreads evenly atop the fruit, then melted unsalted butter is poured to saturate the mix, helping create a tender, cakey topping with a golden crust once baked.
The texture balances moist fruit bubbling underneath with a soft, slightly crisp cake layer on top. The lemon flavor ties the dessert together with a fresh, zesty note that cuts through the sweetness of the blueberries. Serving it warm with vanilla ice cream adds temperature contrast and richness.
You can vary the fruit filling to cherry, apple, peach, or other favorites. An alternative butter application method is slicing it thin rather than melting. Leftovers keep refrigerated for a few days and can be reheated by microwaving portions before serving again.
Ingredients
- 21 ounce blueberry pie filling can
- lemon zest of 1
- 15.5 ounce lemon cake mix box
- 3/4 cup butter 1 1/2 sticks, unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Spread the blueberry pie filling on the bottom of the baking dish, then sprinkle the lemon zest over the top.
- Cover the pie filling with the cake mix in an even layer. Pour the melted butter over the cake mix covering as much surface area as possible.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until lightly golden on top.
- Let the dump cake cool slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Notes
- Substitute the blueberry pie filling with other fruit fillings such as cherry, apple, or peach if desired.
- Instead of melting the butter, slice it thinly and layer over the cake mix for a different texture.
- Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream for added richness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, reheating in the microwave before serving.
