This easy dump cake begins with a yellow cake mix and features fresh blueberries and a blueberry whipped cream Greek yogurt topping.
I love a good dump cake recipe, and this Blueberries and Cream Dump Cake was a unique and delicious dessert that got rave reviews from my family.
Honestly, I was a bit skeptical of the blueberry Greek yogurt and whipped cream topping for this cake, but I was pleasantly surprised. Without it, this would have simply been a blueberry dump cake.
And since I had some fresh blueberries I really needed to use, I figured it was worth a try. I was not disappointed, and neither were my husband and hungry teenagers.
The creamy topping was really delicious, and made this cake stand out from other dump cake recipes I’ve tried. So if you’re worried about the yogurt topping, don’t be. It was literally the icing on the cake!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
If you’re not familiar with dump cakes, they basically consist of dumping a cake mix into a pan with a lot of melted butter, and a few other ingredients, depending on what flavor of dump cake you’re making.
The best thing about dump cakes is that they’re so easy to make. Which means they’re a perfect way to introduce kids to baking. Most dump cake recipes are pretty fool-proof, and this one was no exception.
You can use fresh or frozen blueberries in this recipe. I used fresh because that’s what I had on hand, but either will work.
Normally I make my dump cakes in a 9×13 pan, but I used a 12-inch skillet this time for a bit of a rustic flare. But a good old rectangular baking pan will work just fine.
If you’re not up for trying the creamy blueberry yogurt topping, I think a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some fresh blueberry sauce would be equally delicious. Enjoy!

If I use a gluten-free cake mix with this, will I need to add any eggs? (the box normally calls for 4 eggs in the recipe). I have several co-workers who are gluten-free, and I would like to make this for them.

I would think you could just make the recipe as written (without eggs) and sub in the gluten free cake mix, but I’ve never tried it so I can’t say for sure.
