Should you use Melted Butter or Cut the butter?
When making a dump cake, there are different ways you can add the butter that most recipes call for.
Typically, I melt the butter first, especially if there is already a lot of liquid from the rest of the ingredients. For this blueberry pineapple dump cake recipe, I cut it instead.
Cutting the butter allows for it to melt more evenly and provide better coverage of the dry cake mix as it bakes. It gives you more control over where the butter will end up when it melts.
How to Make Blueberry Pineapple Dump Cake
Making a blueberry dump cake with pineapple couldn’t be easier. I love that this simple dessert can be made with things that are easy to keep in your pantry or refrigerator.
Ingredients:
- 1 can blueberry pie filling
- 1 can crushed pineapple, not drained
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- 2 sticks butter
You can totally leave off the coconut if you aren’t a fan. I just like the texture it adds to the crust. And if you do like coconut, pile it on!
I like using canned fruits because they are sweet enough and usually have some chunky fruit. I like to use a variety of flavors though, like using the blueberry with the pineapple.
In my Gluten-Free Blueberry Dump Cake, I just used blueberry but added some fresh lemon juice and zest to cut through the sweetness and add some brightness.
Directions:
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and grabbing a 9×13 baking dish.
- To prepare your blueberry and pineapple dump cake, first, add a layer of blueberry pie filling.
- Top the blueberries with crushed pineapple. Don’t forget the juice!
- Sprinkle on dry cake mix until all the fruit is covered.
- Top the yellow cake mix with shredded coconut.
- Cut both sticks of butter into pats and place the cubes evenly around the pan.
- Bake in your preheated oven for approximately one hour.
Did you know using kitchen shears makes it super easy to cut the butter into pats? I use my kitchen shears for everything. Even cutting butter.
I suggest waiting for the dump cake to cool a little before eating. But I know it’s hard not to dig in before it’s had a chance to rest.
Letting it cool for at least half an hour helps the juices to not be so runny.
Whether you serve this delicious blueberry dump cake with pineapple warm, room temperature, or even cold, it’s going to taste amazing!
I’m a purist and love to eat my dump cakes as is, but you can always add something creamy like vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
