👩‍🍳Blueberry Pineapple Dump Cake

Take your dessert game to the next level with a fun twist on the classic Blueberry Dump Cake recipe. By adding canned crushed pineapple, you'll create a delightful tropical fusion that will transport your taste buds straight to paradise.

The juicy blueberries, tangy pineapple, and sweet vanilla cake mix come together in perfect harmony, creating a burst of flavors that will keep you coming back for more.

If you don't want to use canned blueberry pie filling, try this Homemade Blueberry Pie Cake Filling recipe or you could try homemade strawberry filling!

💡What Exactly is a Dump Cake?

  • A dump cake or a crunch cake is very similar to a fruit cobbler.
  • As a result, the cake mix gives you the crunch buttery topping.
  • You basically do just like the title says and you dump the ingredients into a baking dish and then top it off with the cake mix.
  • For the most part, you can use any canned fruit you like. You could also use fresh fruit! Try my Berry Dump Cake that's made with fresh blueberries and raspberries.

    It looks yummy! Could I substitute something else for the pineapple? I love blueberry but not a big fan of pineapple.

      You could leave the pineapple out completely. Thank you for visiting.

    I've made this for my husband's office for years. They still ask for it, and he's retired! I don't add any sugar and it's just as good.
