The first time I ever heard of a Dump Cake was when a friend of mine used to make them for potluck occasions at our church. Despite the unusual name, they were delicious! But most recipes make enough for a crowd. I was pleased to be able to make a smaller amount for two of us. I served it with ice cream. Whipped cream would be good, too.

How To Make blueberry dump cake for two

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat inside of 2 ramekins (about 8 oz capacity each) with baking spray. Line a square baking pan with foil.
  • Step 2
    Spoon half of blueberries into each ramekin. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of preserves over berries. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of cake mix evenly over berry mixture.
  • Step 3
    Drizzle 2 tablespoons of 1/2 and 1/2 over cake mix in each ramekin. Cover with thin slices of butter. Sprinkle with lemon zest, if using.
  • Step 4
    Place ramekins into baking pan and bake for 25 - 30 minutes.
  • Step 5
    NOTE: Instead of 2 ramekins, you can use 1 round baking pan that is about 6 inches across and with about 3 cups capacity. Increase baking time by about 5 minutes.
