How to Make Blueberry Pineapple Dump Cake
Step 1: In a bowl mix together blueberries, pineapple, and 3/4 cup sugar. ( You can do this straight into the dish if you prefer)
Step 2: Pour mixture into a greased 9×13 baking dish.
Step 3: Pour cake mix evenly over the fruit mixture.
Step 4: Place pieces of butter evenly over the top of the cake mix.
Step 5: Top with the nuts and 1/4 cup sugar.
Step 6: Bake at 375 for 45 minutes or until it’s browned on the top.
Tips:
- Be sure you cook it long enough! Every oven is different. I have cooked mine an hour before. It needs to be browned on the top and look done.
- Eat it HOT! This dump cake taste best when you eat it hot with ice cream.
- I store mine on the counter at room temp.

Ingredients
- 1 can crushed pineapples
- 3 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup sugar, divided
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 2 sticks butter
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl combine blueberries, pineapple, and 3/4 cup of sugar. You can do this directly into the 9x13 but I prefer a bowl since I'm spraying the pan. I don't want to stir that all in.
- Pour into sprayed 9x13 dish. Sprinkle yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit mixture.
- Slice butter into pieces about 1/2 tbsp each. Place them all across the cake mix to form an even layer.
- Sprinkle with nuts and 1/4 cup more sugar.
- Bake at 375 for 45 minutes to an hour. Make sure the top is browned.
Notes
- Make sure the entire surface is going to have butter on it when it bakes. If not you will have dry spots on your cake.
- You could easily switch out the fruit and use the same method to make a different type of dump cake. This combo is perfect to me!
- Serving it with ice cream is a must!
