Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Layer
- 1 (21-ounce) can blueberry pie filling
- 1 (15-ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
Cake Topping
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- ½ cup unsalted butter, sliced into thin pats
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Layer the Fruit: Pour the blueberry pie filling into the greased dish and spread it out evenly. Add the crushed pineapple along with its juice, and gently stir the two fruits together to combine them well.
- Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit mixture. Do not stir; just let the dry cake mix cover the fruit layer completely.
- Butter and Topping: Arrange the thin pats of unsalted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix to ensure a rich, moist crust. If desired, sprinkle with ground cinnamon and chopped pecans or walnuts for added flavor and texture.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fruit mixture is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious warm, especially when paired with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent touch.
- Substitute the crushed pineapple with another can of blueberry pie filling to intensify the blueberry flavor.
- For added crunch, try sprinkling extra nuts over the top before baking.
- This cake is sturdy enough to be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
