Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (21 oz) blueberry pie filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow or vanilla cake mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven – Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer the Blueberries – Spread the blueberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture – In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drop spoonfuls over the blueberry filling and gently spread it out.
- Add Cake Mix – Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the cream cheese and blueberries. Do not stir.
- Top with Butter – Slice the butter into thin pieces and distribute them evenly over the cake mix to ensure even browning and a buttery crust.
- Add Nuts (Optional) – Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top for added crunch and flavor.
- Bake – Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
- Cool & Serve – Let the cake cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Mixed Berries – Swap blueberry pie filling for a mixed berry combination.
- Chocolate Twist – Use a chocolate cake mix instead of vanilla for a richer flavor.
- Gluten-Free Option – Use a gluten-free cake mix to cater to dietary needs.
- Lemon Zest – Add a hint of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture for a bright citrus flavor.
- Nut-Free – Skip the nuts if you prefer a smoother texture.
