BLUEBERRIES: You can also serve this blueberry cream cheese dump cake with fresh blueberries over the top.

Do not bake the filling mixed with fresh or frozen blueberries added, as it will change the consistency of the filling.

PIE FILLING: For this easy dump cake recipe, you can substitute the can of pie filling with a homemade blueberry pie filling if you have any on hand.

CAKE MIX: You can use vanilla, white, or yellow cake mix for this blueberry dump cake with cream cheese. Use a gluten-free cake mix to make this dish gluten-free.

How To Make This Blueberry Cheesecake Dump Cake Recipe

Dump cakes may be one of the easiest desserts to make. All you need to do is layer the ingredients into the baking dish following our directions below and let the oven do the work.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

You’ll want to use a 9×13-inch baking pan for this easy recipe so that the texture and consistency are right. I’ve used an 11×7-inch pan before, and it turned out a little too thick, which changed the delicious texture of the dump cake.

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.

STEP TWO: Spread the blueberry filling into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

STEP THREE: In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to combine the cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.

STEP FOUR: Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over top of the pie filling.

STEP FIVE: Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the first two layers.

STEP SIX: Slice very thin slices of butter and spread them over the entire top of the cake mix.

Cover as much of the cake mix as possible.

Using cold butter makes it much easier to slice and to maintain square pats for covering the top of the dump cake.

PRO TIP:

There may be a few dry cake mix spots on top. This is normal and is just where the butter did not saturate into the cake mix.

You can add extra butter over the dry area. Check the cake after about 30 minutes to see if the melted butter missed any areas.

The dump cake is made correctly and tastes delicious, even with dry spots on the top. Try to cover as much of the top as possible with butter. The pats of butter need to be VERY thin to cover the whole top of the cake.

STEP SEVEN: Bake cake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the topping is browned and the blueberry filling is bubbling around the edges.

PRO TIP:

Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your cake as the suggested baking time approaches.

STEP EIGHT: Allow the dump cake to rest for 15 minutes before serving it.

PRO TIP:

Allowing the dump cake to rest for a bit before serving it will give the blueberry filling time to cool just a bit so that it is not super runny when you scoop into it.

How To Serve

Take this tasty dump cake dessert to the next level with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side and whipped cream on top.

A cold, refreshing glass of iced tea or a homemade hot chocolate is a great way to wash it down.

Storage

Now that you’ve enjoyed the deliciousness of our blueberry cheesecake dump cake, let’s talk about how to store it for future enjoyment.

MAKE AHEAD: While this dessert is best when fresh, you can prepare it a day ahead by assembling all the layers in your baking dish.

Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator.

When you’re ready to indulge, simply pop it in the oven according to the original baking instructions.

IN THE FRIDGE: Store this blueberry cheesecake dump cake in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for five to seven days.

IN THE FREEZER: You can also freeze the delicious cake for up to one month. Make sure to label the container with the best-by date so that you don’t forget to use it up.

Thaw in the refrigerator or reheat to serve.

REHEATING: To reheat a refrigerated or frozen dump cake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If it’s refrigerated, you can reheat it directly in the original dish.

If it’s frozen, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. Bake for 20-30 minutes until heated through and the topping is crisp again.

If you’re in a hurry, you can use the microwave, but be aware that the topping may not be as crispy.

Simply microwave individual servings on high for 30-60 seconds, checking for the desired temperature.
