The husband is on his way home with Amish Eldin and his family. They are coming to pick blueberries. The husband actually bartered a five gallon buckets of blueberries for some of Amish Eldin's firewood, so those berries are now currency as well as food.
I need a quick dessert that I can make before they get here. Luckily, Prince did a report on the great state of New Jersey when he was in 5th grade and introduced me to the state dessert: Blueberry Dump Cake.
I don't really associate New Jersey with blueberries. You'd think Maine would have claim to all things blueberry.
If cobbler is poor man's pie, than dump cake is poor man's cobbler. It is really tasty though. Prince even requested it for his birthday this year.
What you will need:
4C blueberries fresh or frozen
1/4C sugar ( I use a lot less sugar than the state sanctioned recipe)
1 box yellow cake mix
1T cinnamon
1 stick butter
1T corn starch (if using frozen berries)
13x9 pan
Pour blueberries into 13x9 pan. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top.
Pour cake mix over blueberries.
Cut butter into 16 pieces and lay on top of cake mix.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes
I was going to take the money shot of a nice scoopful of dump cake topped with ice cream, but by the time I got home from driving Amish Eldin's wife to the grocery store, it was all gone.
