Blueberry Dump Cake Recipe

Personally I adore desserts that taste great but don’t require tons of skills to recreate.

This slow cooker version of a blueberry cobbler is a perfect “dump and go” holiday recipe that you will taste the same on your table as it did with mine! Almost no prep time and super simple ingredients, this blueberry dump cake is about as uncomplicated of a recipe as it gets.

  • 2 cans, 21 oz each, blueberry pie filling
  • 1 box, 15.25 oz, yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup, 1 stick, melted butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Vanilla ice cream for serving (I like Breyers Vanilla, my husband prefers Bluebell)

Dump Cake IMPORTANT Tip: Paper towel is the key to these types of recipes to catch the condensation on the lid.

There is a picture below showing how to set this up!

Place two layers of paper towel on top of the slow cooker crock, and place the lid on the crock.

Set the slow cooker to high for 3 hours.

Check halfway through to make sure the paper towel is still dry.

If not, remove the wet towel, and replace with a fresh layer of paper towel.

This prevents condensation from pouring back down into your cake.
