This charming dish is perfect for everyone, from busy parents to eager bakers, delivering a delightful combination of juicy blueberries and sweet, buttery cake.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This allows your cake to cook evenly and become beautifully golden brown.
  • Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray, ensuring easy release.
  • Spread the blueberries evenly in the bottom of the baking dish. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries, depending on what you have on hand.
  • Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the blueberries, making sure every bit is covered.
  • Drizzle the melted butter over the dry cake mix, being careful to cover as much surface area as possible. This will create a deliciously golden crust.
  • Pour the water evenly over the top. This step is crucial as it helps to create that ooey-gooey delight we all love.
  • Do not stir! Just leave it as is to create the perfect texture when it bakes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cake is bubbling.
  • Let it cool slightly before serving. It’s best enjoyed warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
