Can I use fresh or frozen blueberries instead of pie filling?

Absolutely! You can substitute blueberry pie filling with 4 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries if you prefer a less sweet dessert. Mix them with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to create a sweet and syrupy base.

How should I store leftover Blueberry Dump Cake?

Cover the cake with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat individual portions in the microwave.

Can I freeze Blueberry Dump Cake?

Yes! Once the cake has completely cooled, cover it tightly with foil and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm in the oven at 325°F (165°C) until heated.

Why didn’t my topping turn golden?

Dry spots can remain if the butter doesn’t evenly coat the cake mix. Next time, try using more melted butter or drizzle a little vegetable oil to cover the dry areas.
