A Summertime Favorite :: Blueberry Dump Cake

0

There are two kinds of people in this world, the eat dessert for breakfast kind and everyone else. I am of the first variety. I could, and would if calories didn’t count, eat something sweet for every meal. My sweet tooth knows no limits.

During the summer, I find myself looking for something simple and satisfying. Bonus points if I can use some of the bountiful fruits available here in SC. Think peaches or blueberries.

This past week I spent a few days at Folly Beach with my husband’s family and his aunt graciously sent us home with a huge bag full of handpicked blueberries. Sure I could throw them in a morning smoothie, or mix them into pancakes, but y’all know that’s just not my style.

Blueberry Dump Cake

Dump Cake to the rescue! What is a dump cake you might ask? Well, it is virtually a cake mix, sugar, butter, and fruit of your choice dumped together in a baking dish. Can it possibly get any easier? I think not! Visit your favorite local blueberry patch and then enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups blueberries (I used fresh but frozen are fine)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter

I used French Vanilla cake mix, but any flavor will do.
