Equipment

  • 1 9" x 13" baking dish or pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup Earl Grey tea brewed and cooled
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A dash of elegance or more butter, whichever is handy

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9x13-inch baking dish, and grease it like you’re trying to win an award for the shiniest pan.
  • Spread those blueberries evenly over the bottom of the pan. They should look like they’re ready for a spa day.
  • Sprinkle the sugar over the berries, then drizzle the brewed Earl Grey tea on top. Don’t worry if it looks a bit swampy; we’re getting fancy here.
  • Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the berry and tea concoction. Try to cover it evenly, but let’s face it, dump cakes are meant to be delightfully imperfect.
  • Pour the melted butter over the cake mix. You can drizzle it artistically, or just pour and hope for the best. Either way, it’s going to taste divine.
  • Sprinkle the lemon zest, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon on top. These ingredients are like the glitter of the culinary world.
  • Pop it in the oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Diva's Finishing Flourishes

Earl Grey Glaze:

Mix powdered sugar with a bit of brewed Earl Grey tea to create a glaze. Drizzle this over the cooled cake for an extra hit of that floral, bergamot flavor. Fancy and fabulous!

Almond Joy:

Add a handful of sliced almonds to the cake mix before baking. This adds a delightful crunch and pairs wonderfully with the blueberries and tea.

Herbal Infusion:

Swap out half of the blueberries for blackberries and add a tablespoon of finely chopped fresh thyme to the mix. It sounds wild, but the herbal note complements the berries beautifully.

Presentation Suggestions

Tea Party Vibes:

Serve slices of your Earl Grey Blueberry Dump Cake on mismatched vintage plates with dainty forks. Add a dollop of whipped cream on top and a sprinkle of lemon zest for a pop of color.

Rustic Elegance:

Use a wooden board as your serving platter. Place the cake slices in a slightly haphazard, but charmingly casual way. Garnish with fresh blueberries and a few sprigs of fresh thyme.

Mini Masterpieces:

Serve in individual ramekins if you’re feeling particularly posh. This way, everyone gets their own perfect portion of dump cake goodness. Top with a tiny scoop of vanilla ice cream for that extra wow factor.

Now, go forth and dump in style! This Earl Grey Blueberry Dump Cake is sure to be the star of any gathering, whether it’s a high tea or a casual get-together. Enjoy!
