This Blueberry Lemon Dump Cake is super easy to make using blueberry pie filling,tangy lemon curd, yellow cake mix, and butter.
I thought I would go for a super easy dessert today for summer dessert week.
Dump Cake.
If you are not familiar with dump cake you literally dump the ingredients in and bake it.
This one requires a little mixing of the blueberry pie filling and lemon curd together but other than that the rest is dumping.
I’m not sure who invented dump cake but I have a strong feeling it was someone moving and trying to clean out their cupboards. 😀
I went back and forth on whether to use lemon cake mix or yellow cake mix.
For me I went with yellow.
Why?
Because I didn’t have lemon and I didn’t feel like sending my hubby to the store just for one box of cake mix.
But if you want more lemon flavor to this I say go for the lemon cake mix.
I just use store bought lemon curd but if you like to make your own feel free to do that as well.
Yes, it really is a cup of melted butter.
You need that to help make the crunchy top.

We make dump cakes out at my in-law’s lake house quite often but I never thought about adding a citrus curd before!
Peabody says
It adds a nice tang to it.
Lisa says
Peabody…How would I use fresh berries in this?? Cook them down first??
So. Many. Berries.
Peabody says
Yeah, you would need to cook them down but also would need sugar and a thickener. I would look for a blueberry pie filling recipe.
