In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Once the butter has completely melted, add the sugar and stir until it’s dissolved. Remove from the heat and pour into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Next, top the butter mixture with fresh blueberries and set aside.
In a medium bowl, prepare the cake batter according to the directions on the package. Carefully pour over the top of the blueberries in an even layer.
