Description

This Blueberry Cream Cheese Dump Cake is a simple and delicious dessert that combines creamy layers of sweetened cream cheese and fresh blueberries with a buttery yellow cake topping. Perfect for any occasion, this easy-to-make cake requires minimal preparation and yields a moist, fruity, and flavorful treat that’s ideal served warm, optionally with whipped cream or ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Cake Topping

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 package (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the cake evenly.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and to make removing slices easier after baking.
  3. Make Cream Cheese Layer: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar. Beat it until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Add Blueberries: Evenly sprinkle the blueberries over the cream cheese layer, distributing them to provide flecks of fruity flavor throughout the cake.
  5. Prepare Cake Batter: In a separate bowl, mix together the yellow cake mix, the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and you have a smooth batter.
  6. Assemble Cake: Pour the cake batter evenly over the blueberry and cream cheese layers in the baking dish, ensuring it covers the filling completely.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm, and pairs wonderfully with whipped cream or ice cream for added indulgence.

Notes

  • You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, no need to thaw them before adding.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to achieve a smooth spread.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese layer.
  • The cake is best served warm but also tastes delightful at room temperature.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
