Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Grease: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Combine Blueberries, Butter, Sugar and Vanilla: In the previously greased baking pan, mix together 3 1/2 cups blueberries, 1/3 cup melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour Gluten-Free Yellow Cake Mix On Top: Pour the yellow cake mix over the pan evenly and level using the back of a spoon.
  4. Add Remaining Butter: Add the rest of the melted butter to the baking pan evenly.
  5. Distribute Remaining Blueberries: Sprinkle the remaining blueberries over the cake mix.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top of the gluten-free dump cake is golden brown.
  7. Cool Slightly Before Serving: Let the dump cake cool for 10 minutes. If desired, serve with vanilla bean ice cream and additional fresh blueberries.

Notes

Blueberries: I used fresh blueberries, but frozen berries will work just as well. Alternatively, feel free to use other berries or fruits depending on what you have available (such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries).

Butter: I used vegan butter to keep this recipe vegan and dairy-free. However, if you are not lactose-intolerant or vegan, go ahead and use normal unsalted melted butter or ghee instead.

Sugar: I used granulated white sugar, but you can also use light brown sugar, dark brown sugar, or coconut sugar if you prefer. If you are diabetic or insulin-resistant, I highly recommend using granulated monkfruit sweetener (a 1:1 sugar substitute that is zero glycemic index and will not raise your blood sugar).

Vanilla Extract: I like adding vanilla extract for extra flavor. If you are Celiac or gluten-intolerant, make sure you use certified gluten-free vanilla extract instead.

Gluten-Free Yellow Cake Mix: I recommend using this gluten-free yellow cake mix, but if you are not Celiac or gluten-intolerant, feel free to use normal yellow cake mix instead.

Vanilla Ice Cream: This delicious blueberry dump cake goes amazing with dairy-free vanilla ice cream, so I highly recommend it. If you are not lactose-intolerant, go ahead and use normal vanilla ice cream instead.

Storing: To store, cover the gluten-free dump cake with plastic wrap, or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes (or microwave) before enjoying with a scoop of ice cream.
