Notes

Does this cake need to be refrigerated?
Once the cake has been cooled, store it in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap or foil.
How to reheat this cake.
I scoop a portion into a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 2 minute. Be careful for hot spots in the cake.
Cake mix tips:
Sprinkle the cake mix over the fruit and do not press it down. By pressing it you can form a crust and not allow the cake mix to fully hydrate leaving dry cake mix on the surface.
