Rhubarb Dump Cake has the perfect mixture of tangy rhubarb, sweet juicy blueberries, and a crunchy topping! Adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream is like adding icing to the cake! Oh, and since this only takes 6 ingredients it’s easy as pie to make!
I impatiently wait for my rhubarb to start growing every spring the same way I wait for my zucchini to start growing in the summer. Then when it starts producing there is no turning back. It kind of starts to overtake the garden and consequently pretty much every dish I make for a few weeks! I don’t mink though because rhubarb is so yummy!
BLUEBERRY RHUBARB DUMP CAKE – A STEP BY STEP VIDEO
You guys my family is addicted to dessert and not just any dessert. We kind of see the world like this
- If the recipe includes fruit it is definitely a salad, or it can pass a breakfast! Fruit doesn’t count as dessert..EVER!
- If the recipe doesn’t include chocolate it just doesn’t fit in the dessert category!
- After eating fruity desserts you are entitled to at least one piece of chocolate!
It’s just the way we roll and it’s all my fault! I’m the addict. So when I say that this rhubarb Cobbler counts as a dessert you know it’s GOOD! In no way, shape, or form am I suggesting I wouldn’t serve Blueberry Rhubarb Dump Cake for breakfast I’m just saying it passed the dessert test with flying colors even though it includes fruit! That’s a big deal!
Summer is such a busy time of the year and the last place I want to be is stuck in the kitchen when the rest of the family is out on the farm. I’d way rather be out on the farm working, teasing my children, and singing songs to them while they work (which bothers them a lot) than being inside by myself!

All the rhubarb please! Looks delicious.
You must impatiently wait for rhubarb season like I do! Rhubarb is so yummy and doesn’t last long enough!
I just love dump cakes! They are so easy and so good!
Me too! They are so easy and are always so comforting!
I love dump cakes, but I’ve never made a rhubarb one. This looks amazing!
Mmmm summer perfection….especially with that ice cream on top!
I’m always trying to make sure everyone gets their servings of dairy! It’s important you know!
This looks absolutely incredible! And I wish I could get my hands on rhubarb here in Texas because I’m wanting to try this desperately!
Is rhubarb one of those plants that won’t grow in Texas? It grows like a weed here so I didn’t realize it was hard to get ahold of in some areas. Hope you find some because it’s pretty awesome in this dump cake!
My garden is bursting with rhubarb right now and this sounds like a delicious way to put it to use!
I can’t wait for you to try it! It’s seriously one of my favorite ways to eat rhubarb!
I’m anxious to try this but fear the sugar content in canned blueberry pie filling. How would you substitute fresh blueberries, which we have a-plenty of here in Michigan?

I’m so jealous you have plenty of fresh blueberries! How fun is that? You could search pinterest for a low sugar blueberry pie filling recipe and substitute that for the can of pie filling. I’ve noticed more and more varieties of pie fillings are popping up in the store. It looks like some of them are a little more like homemade pie filling too.
