Blueberry Crackle Cake

This Blueberry Crackle Cake is a unique dessert that brings a delicious blueberry pie filling flavor with a sweet brown sugar butter crunch dual layer on top and below the filling. It’s simple to make and oozes with flavor. Crackle cakes have been around for ages, and one bite you’ll see why they’re so good!

The base of this blueberry cake has a nice sweet crunch. It is a blend of crushed soda crackers, brown sugar, flour and coconut. A unique cake base that goes so well together. 

A crackle cake kind of reminds me of a dump cake in that it’s so, so easy. You make the base, dump the filling, cover with the rest of the cracker crumble mixture and bake it.

Recipe Tips and Tricks 

Here are a few tips and tricks to help make crafting this luscious blueberry dessert even easier!

• I recommend letting your crackle cake cool completely so it has a chance to harden and you get that delicious sweet crunch with every bite.
• When cutting your cake, wipe the knife blade off with a damp paper towel in between slices to get nice clean cuts of your dessert.
• If you want, you can line your baking dish with parchment paper. This makes removing the cake from the baking pan easier. You can remove the whole cake from the dish, or cut the cake into rectangles, like we do with dessert bars and having the lined dish makes it easier to remove. Also, lining the dish makes clean up time a lot easier as well. Just don’t forget to grease the parchment paper like you would have the plain baking dish.

Variations and Substitutions 

While this Blueberry Crackle Cake is absolutely incredible just the way we made it originally, sometimes it’s nice to have other options to try the next time you make this cake. The first time you make it, follow the directions, the next time you make this cake, you can try some of these different variations and substitutions for the baking ingredients. 

• Lemon or Cherry Pie filling would be great substitutions to use in place of this blueberry pie filling.
• Add a dollop of whipped cream or even ice cream on top.
• Trade out your soda crackers for graham crackers.
• You can make your own pie filling using frozen or fresh blueberries if desired.
• For the cracker crumb layer, you can swap out the soda crackers for some shortbread cookies or even pie crumbs for another sweeter flavor option.
• Add some fresh squeezed lemon juice on top of the cake for a tart addition. 

Storage Instructions

Anytime I whip up this dessert, we never seem to have any leftovers. But, if you have some extra leftovers, here are some helpful storage instructions for you. 

Store your leftover Blueberry Cracker Cake in an airtight container or the serving dish wrapped in plastic wrap. 

Leftover dessert should be refrigerated for up to 2-3 days. The cracker layer will get soggy the longer it keeps. So, the sooner you can enjoy this homemade cracker cake, the better. 

Can I Freeze This Cracker Cake? 

Yes, you can freeze this cake. Make sure to let it cool completely before transferring it to a freezer safe container. If possible, I recommend trying to wrap your cake in plastic wrap before putting it in a freezer safe container. 

Can I Double This Cake Recipe? 

Yes, you can double this recipe to make more. However, instead of doubling and baking it in the 8-inch baking dish, I would recommend doubling the recipe and then putting the second portion in a second 8-inch or 9-inch baking dish. 

You don’t want to double this cake recipe in one pan or it won’t turn out correctly.
