Dump Cake

This sounds bad, is bad for you, includes bad ingredients and looks pretty darn ugly when you take it out of the oven. What you have is essentially a crumble, but made instantly trashier with a box of cake mix, a substance I despise as there is really nothing easier about using cake mix over real ingredients. There is very, very little to praise in this kitch American dessert, apart from the taste. Irritatingly, I tried this out of mere snobbish curiosity, and it tastes utterly fabulous.
1)Dump in a large baking dish one tin of beautiful cherry pie filling, a tin of undrained pineapple chunks, a box of sponge cake mix and (this is where things really start going downhill) 110g unsalted butter (a whole stick in America) sliced and dotted over the crumbly cake mix. Bake at 180 degrees for a good hour, until the surface is set and caramelised. Dig in to the rich, fake purple colour of the interior, and prepare to be amazed.
