Use it for a dump cake. My grandma called hers Cherry Jazz because she used
cherry pie filling but you can use any kind of fruit. If just plain canned
fruit, I would drain the liquid off. Put the fruit in your pan, sprinkle
the cake mix over the top and then add two sticks of melted butter or
margarine. I am assuming this is is for a two layer cake. I would use less
for a single layer. I always used one stick for a single layer but... My
grandma's recipe said to use one or two sticks for the single layer box.
Two would be overkill for me I think. Just dump it on and bake. I can't
remember the bake time. Pretty sure it was 350 degrees and probably
somewhere around 20-30 minutes. Just bake until it browns on the top.
