As the name says, all you have to do is dump the ingredients together to create a sweet, easy dessert. It&#8217;s our go-to when we need dessert fast or when we can&#8217;t be bothered to put much effort into baking. Lemon blueberry dump cake has a layer of fresh blueberries with a lemon cake base and a rich lemon cream topping. Talk about all the best summer flavors wrapped into one!<\/p>\n<p>Although it&#8217;s definitely more humble in looks than some of the more stunning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/zesty-lemon-cake-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/zesty-lemon-cake-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lemon cakes<\/a> we&#8217;ve made, the flavor is anything but ordinary. You can even sprinkle the creamy topping with lemon zest for more of a puckery punch.<\/p>\n<h2>What is a dump cake?<\/h2>\n<p>This dessert gets its name from the preparation method, which is simply to dump ingredients together to create a cake. First, you dump fresh or canned fruit into a baking dish, then you sprinkle the fruit with cake mix. Next, you&#8217;ll add butter either as pats or melted first and then drizzled. When baked, the fruit becomes thick and gooey with a browned, cakey top\u2014a dessert that resembles a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-difference-between-cobblers-crumbles-crisps-and-buckles\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-difference-between-cobblers-crumbles-crisps-and-buckles\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cobbler<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>The biggest mistake to avoid with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/dump-cake-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/dump-cake-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dump cake recipes<\/a> is mixing them! It&#8217;s tempting to stir everything together, but doing this will ruin the texture and result in a big mess.

Or, reheat pieces of cake in individual portions in the microwave.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make lemon blueberry dump cake ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can prepare both components of this cake ahead of time. Store the baked and cooled dump cake, tightly wrapped, in the fridge up to two days in advance. Any longer than that and it won&#8217;t be quite as fresh.

Use two 21-ounce cans blueberry pie filling in place of the fresh berries.
