Dump it Cake

This is always a good, fast, and really yummy dessert. It takes about 5 minutes to put it together and then a little baking - and presto, completely delicious! This is great for any occasion!

Dump-It-Cake

Ingredients:

1 yellow cake mix

2 large cans of fruit pie filling, (cherry is awesome!!

2 sticks butter

1/2 C chopped pecans (optional)

Directions:

Spray a 9 x 13 glass cake pan with cooking spray, pour fruit pie filling in (both cans). Spread cake mix evenly over the pie filling, if using nuts, sprinkle them on top for an added punch. Cut squares of butter and place them over the top. Bake at 375 30 - 45 minutes or until golden brown on top. I usually set my timer for 30 minutes and then start checking about every 5 minutes. Serve warm or cold, a nice addition is ala mode.
