You could call this a blueberry dump cake of sorts, but the texture is more like our peach cobbler with cake mix. We made both of these in the past month and they have been a huge hit in our house. Cheap to make, family friendly, and you can tweak it to make a ton of different combinations. (affiliate links present)

Cake Mix Blueberry Cobbler

We're back with another cake mix hack y'all!! That is right, if you have never made a 3 ingredient blueberry cobbler cake before this is where you should start. Well, 4 if you want to pretty it up with a little bit of fresh fruit too but that is optional. We mean…..and vanilla ice cream is an good topping when it is served up too.

We made blueberry dump cupcakes with the filling and mix years and years ago. They were so good we made those again and again, still do today. Changing it up a bit though is our thang, and this is one tweak. Adding that stick of butter transforms it into a crumbly, moist, sticky treat. And if you're looking for an even easier variation, you can try making a blueberry cobbler with 3 ingredients – it's super simple and as good!

A can of blueberry pie filling, a stick of Grade AA butter, and a box of Betty Crocker Super Moist white cake mix are perfectly arranged on a gray surface, ready to create a good blueberry cobbler with cake mix. A measuring cup filled with fresh blueberries completes the scene.

Blueberry Cobbler with Lemon Cake Mix

Lemon and blueberry would be a great combination too. We used white as you could see here but yellow would be the other choice.

Occasionally we have found unique fruit flavors but blueberry is super rare. This is where the swapping comes into play. Not only can you change out the flavors of mix but of fillings too. A few ideas that we think would work well would be

Swaps

Spice cake mix or yellow with apple pie filling like our apple cobbler with cake mix
- or with pumpkin puree for pumpkin dump cake without condensed milk which is great for Fall months
Carrot cake mix would be great with canned or homemade Instant Pot apple crisp pie filling if you ask us, on our list to try that next
White cake mix and yellow can be folded in with any fruit filling
Strawberry boxed mix with cherry pie filling – we did this with our cherry pie filling dump cake

Beyond these two ingredients you need a stick of butter, you'll need to melt that and not room temperature. This will be the liquid to moisten the dry ingredient into a sort of batter. We use salted so you don't have to add a pinch of that into the mix either. Makes everything easier. If you need a lactose free sweet treat that is possible too!

Can you make dump cake with dairy free butter?

Yes! We make dump cakes with vegan butter from Country Crock all the time for our husband and there is no difference in the texture or flavor. We will say some brands are better than others, we like this one best. It comes in sticks for baking and tubs for toast in the morning.

Let's talk about baking pans for this type of quick easy dessert. You will want it to be non stick. Personally we like using a porcelain coated casserole dish if it is clean. If not we will use aluminum but spray the inside well so it scoops out without any waste.

Yellow Cake Mix with Blueberries

Adding fresh fruit into the mix is always a win. You don't need much but if you are making this one grab 1 of those little containers of fresh berries to sprinkle into the mix. Gives it a bit more freshness and texture in every bite. The canned ones are much softer, like defrosted frozen berries so adding new in there is quite nice.
