I love when summer comes around and it is Farmer’s Market season is Wisconsin. When blueberries are in-season, this blueberry skillet dump cake is always one of the first things I make.
What ingredients do you need to make a blueberry dump cake?
Yup, you read that right – only 5 ingredients are needed to make this tasty cake. And most are ones you already have in your pantry.
If you’re not familiar with what a dump cake is, it is basically when all you are doing is ‘dumping’ the ingredients into a bowl, stirring, and then dumping it into a skillet and baking.
With this recipe, you’re making a quick cake batter in a bowl and then pouring that into the skillet. Then you just pour the blueberries on top. It’s as simple as that!
Pouring sounds a lot more graceful than dumping, does’t it? So you can think of this cake as a one bowl cake, a skillet cake, or just an all around amazing blueberry cake. Plus, since this cake is made with only 5 ingredients, it’s a perfect addition to my Five Ingredient Friday series!
Now, I have to share a funny story with you that makes me giggle every time I think of it: I was once doing a radio interview about my cookbook and they invited the live audience to call in. This very sweet elderly man called in and said that he had purchased his first cookbook and I got all excited thinking mine was his first cookbook he had purchased, but then he went on to say that it was a ‘dump’ cookbook but that is was a lot more complicated than he thought it was going to be, and what did I have to say about that? Whomp whomp. I, of course, was nice and responded with how I was sorry he wasn’t enjoying that cookbook, but that I could assure him that mine had only 5 ingredient recipes and he might like it.
The funny part was, when he was describing the other cookbook, (I have no idea what the title of the cookbook or who the author was) – the one I had no idea about- he kept emphasizing the word ‘dump’ “you’re supposed to just DUMP all the ingredients in” “one makes dishes by “DUMPING” and so on. It took all I had to contain my laughter. Ever since, every time I’m making something that involves a pouring step, I think that I’m dumping ingredients in and laugh. Maybe I’m the only one that thinks it was funny?
For the cake batter all you do is mix together melted butter, sugar, flour and milk and then add fruit and bake. That’s it! Viola! You could substitute the butter for margarine and milk for almond milk, or the blueberries for other berries. This cake is super customizable and delicious (you could even top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!)
This cake is probably one of the most tried and true recipes I know and have known for years. All you need for this 5 ingredient blueberry skillet dump cake are a few basic ingredients and fresh blueberries then you’ll be on your way to the best dessert!
