Ingredients for Berry Dump Cake

  • Blueberries
  • Blackberry
  • Raspberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • Vanilla Cake Mix
  • Pecans
  • Unsalted Butter

How to Make Berry Dump Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Gently rinse 4 cups of mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.) and spread them evenly in a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Sprinkle 1 cup of granulated sugar over the berries.
  3. Evenly distribute one 15.25-ounce box of yellow cake mix over the sugar.
  4. Sprinkle 1 cup of chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts recommended) over the cake mix.
  5. Pour 1 cup (2 sticks) of melted unsalted butter evenly over the nuts.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the berries are bubbling and the topping is golden brown and cooked through. Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out with a few moist crumbs, it's done.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional)!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
