"This is a super quick, super easy dessert to make. Three ingredients and two minutes of prep time is all it takes. Doesn't get any easier. I've used other items instead of fruit cocktail like canned pears, canned blueberries or canned cherries. I've also sprinkled coconut on top of the cake before baking which adds great flavor. Serve plain, with Cool Whip or your favorite ice cream."

Can you use salted butter instead of unsalted?

Whether you call it cobbler or "dump cake", this is a classic. It was a real hit with my family last night. Try this with chocolate cake mix, a can of cherry pie filling and a can of crushed pineapple - yum!

I used strawberry cake mix and cooked it a little longer than recipe called for. Delicious....

Not sure how you can give this 5 stars? I made it as per directions and it came out with the cake mix still like powder uncooked on top of the fruit and juices.! Completely inedible
