Very Berry Blackberry Dump Cake

This Very Berry Blackberry Dump Cake is my favorite recipe to make with fresh spring and summer blackberries. The addition of blackberry or raspberry Jell-O really makes the flavor of this dump cake pop!

Last weekend I made my favorite Very Berry Blackberry Dump Cake and I couldn't wait to share it with y'all. Whenever I have blackberries on hand I always make this recipe or or blackberry cobbler. If I had to make a choice out of the two the dump cake would definitely be the winner. 

Dump cakes aren't anything new, but most recipe are made using canned pie filling. This recipe is a bit different because it uses fresh blackberries and another ingredient that makes this dump cake very berry ...... it's blackberry Jell-O. The addition of the Jell-O really makes the fresh blackberries pop with flavor.

Blackberry fusion Jell-O can sometimes be hard to find, so if you can't find it just use raspberry Jell-O. I got this recipe from a friend 8 years ago and it's one of my favorite cherished recipes. I have this recipe on a tattered piece of paper that has butter spatters all over it. Don't you just love those kind of recipes? I do because you know it's a good. 

This recipe is easy-peasy to make just dump all the ingredients one by one into a 9 x 13 inch baking pan and bake. This recipe is best with fresh blackberries, but you can also use frozen. If using frozen berries, thaw the berries and decrease the water to 1/2 cup or just use the frozen berry juice in place of the water in the recipe.  

I usually bake my dump cake just before or while dinner is cooking. That way the dump cake has time to cool a bit while we eat. The topping gets nice and crunchy as it cools making it perfect by the time dessert rolls around.

Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, cool whip or vanilla ice cream and enjoy!!!
