  • 15.25 oz box yellow cake mix (dry)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

  3. Spoon cherry pie filling evenly over the pineapple layer.
  4. Sprinkle dry yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layers, covering completely.
