Pineapple Blueberry Ooey Gooey Butter Cake
I was asked to come up with a pineapple and blueberry combination by an old friend of mine. We went blueberry picking a few weeks ago before she left to go back to Michigan. So Shirley this recipe is for you. I think you’ll like it. It also worked out for Sunday Supper this week our theme was tropical foods or originating from the tropics. Do you know it takes 2 years for a pineapple to grow?
In case you haven’t noticed I love making Ooey Gooey Butter Cakes. I think this is my fifth one in the last year. For sure your favorite one so far has been our Chocolate Peanut Butter Ooey Gooey Butter Cake. I am hoping this combination of pineapple and blueberries will become one of your favorites too! If you ever wanted to know what spring tastes like I think this cake describes it with the first bite.
This is the cake after it had cooled for about a hour. When it first comes out of the oven it will be puffy all over and then fall as it cools in the center. These cakes are best at room temperature I think. They do need to be refrigerated if there are leftovers. Sprinkle with some confectionery sugar before serving if desired.
- 1 butter cake mix or yellow
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 4 cups blueberries
- Topping
- 8 oz. cream cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 16 oz. can crushed pineapple - drained - reserve juice
- 1/2 cup butter - melted
- 3 cups confectioner sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a mixing bowl dump the cake mix, egg, 1.2 cup melted butter and pineapple juice. Mix until it is thoroughly combined. Press on the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 pan.
- Sprinkle the blueberries over the base. Press them down lightly into the batter.
- In another bowl combine the cream cheese, 1/2 cup melted butter, eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined. Make sure the crushed pineapple is well drained. Add to the cream cheese. Mix until combined and add the confectionery sugar. When mixed pour over the blueberries.
- Bake at 350 (325 if a glass pan) for an hour. Check several times before that. Mine took 1 hour and 5 minutes. A tester should be clean when you check it. If in doubt leave in another 5 minutes.

I see butter cake happening in my life really soon. Looks scrumptious.
Thanks Renee!
We love gooey butter cake around here and love how you “kicked this up a notch” with berries and pineapple. YUM!
Thanks Liz!
Ooh love this rich decadent cake and it looks so easy!Have to try it for sure :)
I’ve NEVER tasted ooey gooey butter cake, though I believe I first learned about it from Paula D. Your photos have me drooling and now I must try making this recipe! YUM!
Everybody credits her with them but they were in church cookbooks and online way before her. I know I was making them too way before before she took credit for it. She just was the first to make them on TV I think.
TRUE, I BELIEVE YOU, AND BY THE WAY, I AM A PINEAPPLE LOVER. BEING FROM,THE CARIBEAN THOS IS MY FAVORITE. I DEFINETELY WILL DO . HOPE IT COMES OUT AS YOURS.
Pineapple? Check! Blueberry? Check! A recipe of awesome? Triple checks of greatness! Thanks so much for sharing this delightful recipe filled with my favourite things. Five stars!
Thanks Levan! That’s so sweet of you!!!
This sounds fantastic and perfect for an afternoon pick me up with a cup of coffee!!
It would be!
Any cake recipe that starts off with a box of cake mix is bound to be good! This cake looks amazing.
Thanks Jenna, I know I love the shortcut of using a box sometimes.
We love gooey butter coffee cake and this looks like a great variation on it. Perfect for an aloha breakfast!
Thanks Sue!
Mary Ellen, this looks absolutely delicious- You can tell just how ‘ooey-gooey’ it really is!
It is ooey gooey that’s for sure!
Pineapple and blueberry sounds like a great combo!
it was! thanks Cindy!
Oh my goodness this looks heavenly! We just bought outdoor furniture for the summer and I can picture us enjoying this out on the deck :)
I thought it was a perfect dessert for this time of year. Hope you enjoy it!
YUM, I think ooey gooey butter cakes may become a favorite around here too!!
One of my good friends mom’s back home is totally known for her “gooey bars” and that is exactly what these remind me of. If they are anything like hers, they are AHHHMAZING!
I agree, they are so easy to make too!
TWO years for a pineapple?! I didn’t know that!
I don’t think I’ve had the pineapple blueberry combo before, but I do love both fruits and will have to give it a try!
It makes me think they should cost a lot more than they do! Hope you do try it. Thanks for stopping by.
Pineapple and blueberries are always a winner with me!
Me to Sarah!
Excited about trying all the new recipes. Thank you for sharing them.
You’re welcome Susan! Glad you stopped by!!!
I’m not sure that I’ve had butter cake before, but that gooey slice up there is totally calling my name!
OMG! out send these recipes out to people? I’m interested. My mouth is watering and my eyes were so bug eyes they’re crossed. Yum! Yum!
LOL…. I am starting a newsletter in June.
OK I am seriously drooling right now!!
I have a whole fresh pineapple that I need to use soon! I am assuming that this would be an O.K. substitute for the 16 oz can?
I’ve made ooey gooey butter cakes a few times, the original version as well as chocolate, but yours honestly looks better. I’m sure it tastes fantastic too. I’d love to try this!
This looks amazing! Love the pineapple and blueberry combiantion with a decadent butter cake.
Thanks Hezzi!
This looks amazing, and so perfect for the tropical theme! YUM!
Thanks Teri!
can I use frozen blueberries, blackberries and raspberries instead of fresh?
I don’t see why not. Use them frozen, not thawed.
I am making these tonight. I hope they are good chilled because will be taking them to work tomorrow! Thank you for recipe!
I always refrigerate them. I do however take them out the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving to take the chill off.
I love to bake. Trying different ingredients is very tasteful. Mine is in the oven right now.. Already knowing is going to be good.. Thank you, Mary Ellen..
Thanks for letting me know! That recipe reminds me of a dear friend of mine.
I have your oogy gooey peanut butter cakee in my oven right now, I have a Church event to go to Sundau. I plan to take the oogy gooey pineapple blueberry on to that event. The one in my oven smells wonderful. Thanks for you recepes.
The combination of Blueberry and Pineapple is very good. We baked the cake in our Bakery. The best part about the cake is its smell. It really smells very good. The taste is yummy and every one just loved it.
i’ve made this twice now. my favorite dessert ever. reallyyyy struggling to not eat the whole thing in one sitting. i like it cold, right out of the fridge. and i cut back one cup of confectioners sugar in the cream cheese.
