If you enjoy making low carb cake recipes at home, you might also like keto coffee cake and low carb carrot cake bars. My Keto Cheesecake is also a reader favorite.
This keto-friendly paleo blueberry cake is as delicious as it is foolproof. The beauty of dump cakes is that you really can't get them "wrong".
With a few minutes of prep and basic ingredients that are likely already hanging out in your pantry, you can throw this paleo blueberry cake together in no time.
It starts with frozen blueberries tossed with lemon juice and your favorite type of keto-friendly sweetener.
A mixture of basic baking ingredients like coconut and almond flours, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt combine to create the cake element.
Finally, melted butter is drizzled over top of the rest of the ingredients in a prepared baking dish.
Half an hour in the oven is all it takes for the magic to happen. What results is a decadent dessert that will hit the spot after a savory dinner or at any time.
Serve it with a dollop of keto whipped cream to take this low carb blueberry dessert over the top.
How to Make Blueberry Low Carb Dump Cake
You won't believe how easy it is to make this scrumptious paleo blueberry cake.
- First, place frozen blueberries in a medium mixing bowl and toss with lemon juice and your preferred low carb sweetener.
- Spread the blueberry mixture evenly into a prepared baking dish.
- Next, add the flours, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to another mixing bowl.
- Stir all of the dry baking ingredients together to combine.
- Sprinkle the flour mixture over the blueberries in the baking dish.
- Finally, drizzle melted butter over the flour mixture, then bake as directed and serve warm.
These steps match the photos below, and they are for illustration purposes to give you a visual of each step. Please see the printable recipe card below.
Tips for Making this Blueberry Dump Cake
You can use fresh blueberries instead of frozen blueberries if you prefer. If you use fresh blueberries, you won't need to bake the dump cake as long as with frozen berries.
Reduce the baking time by 5-10 minutes to avoid over-baking.
You may want to play around with the amount of sweetener in the cake. Use more or less sweetener according to your personal taste.
Bake your dump cake long enough to allow the top to brown adequately, but not long enough to dry it out. Upon cooling, the topping will soften into a consistency reminiscent of bread pudding.
Dairy-Free Dump Cake Option
You can easily make this dump cake dairy-free if needed. If you don't consume dairy by preference or can't due to an allergy or intolerance, simply replace the butter with melted coconut instead.
Your paleo blueberry dump cake will come out just as delicious as the dairy butter version does.
If you're in the market for more dairy-free blueberry desserts, our keto berry smoothie is another great recipe that uses almond milk in place of dairy milk.
Working With Almond Flour
Not all almond flours are alike. Make sure to use a fine ground almond flour.
If the almond flour is stored in the refrigerator or freezer, bring it to room temperature before using. Cold almond flour absorbs more of the wet ingredients.
Stir the almond flour, then spoon it into the measuring cup and level. Never dip the measuring cup into the almond flour. It will add too much almond flour to the recipe.

This is so yummy!!! Made it last week and I'm getting ready to make it again! ?
Chrystal
Yay! I'm so glad. Did you use 1/2 cup melted butter or 1 cup.

I just made this and it looks exactly like the picture. Unfortunately, it has no “body” to it. It’s like eating batter mixed with blueberries. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good but there is zero firmness. I double checked my ingredients and my baking powder is fresh. Any ideas??
Chrystal
Hi Hilary,
It should have a little body to it, especially the first day it was been baked. If you want more of crunchy top, consider adding 1/2 cup - 1 cup of chopped nuts like pecans to the topping next time.

You can use gelatin to hold the berries together a little more. I use Great Lakes unflavored gelatin. Has 25 cal; 0 net carbs; 6g protein per 7g or 1tbsp.

Can you just use almond flour or do you have to use both almond flour and coconut flour?
Chrystal
You can use all almond flour. If you want a bit of a crunch, you can add chopped almonds or chopped pecans.

Can you use fresh blueberries?
Chrystal

Mila
hello. Can you use just coconut flour? if yes how much and should I add some almonds?
Chrystal
Hi Mila,
Sorry I didn't see your comment earlier. I haven't used only coconut flour but if you do you can use the 1/2 cup coconut flour (and leave out the almond flour) but definitely add some almonds or other chopped nuts to help give it a crunch.

At the top of the recipe, it states 12 servings. Under the nutritional info, it states 8 servings. I need to know so i can count the carbs correctly.
It looks yummy. I can't wait to try this!
Chrystal
Thanks for the catch! It's 8 good size servings at 7 net carb each serving. If you find a serving is too much you can cut it in half and cut the net carbs in half.

I reduced the butter to 1/4 cup and stirred an egg into the flour to give a more crumbly look.

I’m making 2 cups blueberry & 1 cup strawberry. ( fresh berries- that’s what I had on hand)

Thanks! 🙂

Just made this! I swapped the flours as I prefer more almond than coconut flour. This turned out great! Almost like a cobbler. Love it!
Chrystal
So glad you liked it! Thank you for sharing.

Heather
The flavor is good but it is not at all cake-like. Seems like a misnomer to me! Still makes for an easy blueberry dessert.
Chrystal
So glad you liked it! Most dump cakes are a mix of a cake or cobbler and some resemble more of a crisp, but with thicker toppings.

Made this last night to take for a dessert at a friends house. Was disappointed because it turned out so grainy. We ended up throwing it out ☹️ Followed the recipe exactly. It was also very salty.
Chrystal
Hi Kim,
It shouldn't have been grainy or salty. Did you use a fine ground almond flour and coconut flour? How do you store your flours? I'm happy to help you figure out what could have gone wrong. As far as the saltiness, is there a chance you added more salt than called for?

Maybe listing the exact products that were used?
Chrystal
Hi Nioyana,
I used the almond flour from costco and the Bob's Red Mill coconut flour. I hope that helps.

Do you nut allergies I’m on able to use coconut or almond flour, is it possible to use chickpea flour? If so what measurements do I use? I hope this substitution as possible , I really want to make it!!
Chrystal
I'm sorry, I haven't tried chickpea flour in this recipe, so I'm not sure. Have you ever made biscuits with chickpea flour? You could make this filling and top it with chickpea flour biscuits for more of a cobbler dessert.

Chrystal
Gretchen
Could you confirm the net carbs. In the nutritional info it shows 9 net carbs. In a response, above, to another person, you said 7. Thanks
Chrystal
The total carbs is 9 minus the 2 grams of fiber, the net carbs is 7.

Marie
Hello,
Made this today and like someone else who posted, mine turned out grainy and more mushy.
Any guidance is appreciated.
Chrystal
Hi Marie,
This recipe is on the soft side. You can add 1/2-1 cup of chopped nuts to give it a bit more texture.

Chrystal
DRB
Can I use all almond flour instead of almond and coconut flour ?
How will it effect the taste ?
Thank you
Chrystal
Yes, you can. I recommend some chopped nuts to help with the texture, otherwise the topping is a little on the soft side.

Chrystal
Sharon
Can I use stevia as I sweetener? If I do, should I make any other alterations?
Chrystal
Hi Sharon,
I haven't tried stevia in this recipe yet, so I'm not sure what the conversion would be.

Abby
Hello! I wanted to make this ahead (for the next day) and so I was just wondering, how would I store this? Would I refrigerate it and then warm it back up?
Chrystal
Hi Abby,
So sorry that I didn't get to your question yesterday. You can store it in the refrigerator or at room temp. It's best when reheated.
Cheers,
Chrystal
Abby
If you could reply soon I'd really appreciate it. If not, that's okay.🙂
