Step-by-step

• In a greased 9" X 12" baking dish, "dump" in blueberries and pineapple. Spread evenly and smooth over the bottom of the pan.
• "Dump" yellow cake mix on top, covering blueberries completely.
• Spoon melted butter over cake mix to moisten.
• Place in a 350°F pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
• Hint: Sometimes, midway through baking, I poke holes in the top of the cake mixture and press on it a bit to let the juice from the blueberries moisten it a little more.
