Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (about 600 g / 21 oz)
- 1 box yellow cake mix (about 15.25 oz / 432 g)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted (about 225 g / 2 sticks)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- If using fresh blueberries, rinse and drain them well. If frozen, use them straight from the freezer without thawing.
- Spread the blueberries evenly in the bottom of a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking dish.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the blueberries without stirring or mixing.
- Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix layer.
- Bake uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden with bubbling edges.
- Let the cake cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
Notes
If the top browns too quickly but the inside isn’t done, tent the cake loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes. Stir gently before serving for a mix of crust and juicy filling or serve layered. Use unsalted butter for better salt control. Frozen blueberries can be used without thawing.
