Blueberry cobbler with cake mix is a dump cake recipe that's perfect for beginner cooks or for feeding a crowd. With just 3 basic ingredients (pie filling, cake mix, and butter), along an optional Parnell The Chef one, you can make a delicious berry cobbler for you and your family. If you're looking for an easy summer dessert recipe for the 4th of July, picnics, barbecues, or even Thanksgiving or Christmas, this one is for you.
Like all dump cakes, this recipe is super easy because all you have to do “dump” the ingredients into the pan. After greasing a 9x13 inch pan with some butter, I opened the 2 cans of blueberry pie filling and poured them into the pan, using my spatula to spread out the filling evenly.
Although this dump cake cobbler would be good with just the 3 basic ingredients, I wanted to add my Parnell The Chef touch to make it even better. Since lemon brings out berry flavor, I decided to sprinkle some lemon juice on top of the blueberry pie filling to help make it taste more homemade.
If you want, you could add a bit of cinnamon as well, but since canned blueberry pie filling is less flavorful than homemade filling, I think that adding a lot of spices would probably mask the fruit flavor. Honestly, I think that just a bit of lemon juice is all you need to take this cake mix cobbler to the next level.
After mixing in the lemon juice, it was time to add the “crust” by “dumping” a box of cake mix over the pie filling. I tried to sprinkle the cake mix as evenly across the top as possible, but I went back and spread it out with a spoon just to make sure it was all even.
I recommend using white or yellow cake mix since those flavors are the most neutral, but I think that lemon, spice, or even chocolate would be interesting. If you use a different cake mix, let me know how your dump cake turns out!
The last step in making my blueberry cobbler with cake mix was adding the butter. I took two sticks of very cold butter and sliced them into pads as thinly as possible. In the video, I think I said I made 3-4 slices out of each tablespoon, but I may have made 5.
When slicing the butter, make sure that the butter is cold and that you use a sharp knife. If the butter is warm or your knife is dull, it will be very hard to slice the butter thinly.
As you slice the butter, lay the pads on top of the cake mix, distributing them across the top as evenly as possible. This way, as the dump cake bakes, the butter will melt down and out, soaking into the cake mix and making a buttery, crunchy crumb topping for the dump cake blueberry cobbler.
If you’d rather not slice the butter into pads, you could try freezing the butter, grating it on a cheese grater, and then sprinkling the butter on top of the cake mix. Although I have seen blueberry dump cake cobbler recipes in which people melt the butter and then pour it over the top, I think it might be difficult to distribute the butter evenly if you do it that way.
After baking the dump cake in the oven, I couldn’t wait to try it. Honestly, this blueberry cobbler with cake mix was very good. It has a deliciously crunchy and butter crust and a soft berry filling, the bit of lemon juice helping to bring out the flavor.
However, as with other dump cake recipes, the fruit flavor wasn’t as strong as an old fashioned cobbler, and since there’s sugar in both the filling and the cake mix crumb crust, this was a bit on the sweet side. But considering how easy it is to make, I think this is a good recipe.
This 3 ingredient blueberry cobbler with cake mix would be perfect for beginner cooks or if you need to feed a crowd. Whether for the 4th of July or Thanksgiving, this is definitely a recipe to try. 👨🍳🥧😀
