Notes

Storage
To store leftover blueberry dump cake, allow it to cool to room temperature, then cover the baking dish. Store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. The cake crust may become soggy over time.
If you prefer to store the cake for a longer period, you can freeze it for up to two months. To freeze, allow the cake to cool completely, then wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil or place it in an airtight container. When you're ready to serve, thaw the cake in the refrigerator overnight before reheating it in the oven or microwave.
