Frost the top of one layer, put apricot jam on half of the top and raspberry jam on the other half. Place 2nd cake on top. Frost top and sides. If you want to Garnish the top with the jams, just make stripes on the top: space, jam, space 2nd jam, space....repeat.
Dump cake.
1 yellow cake mix
1 can of cherry pie filling
1 can of crushed pineapple
1 stick of butter/margarine
coconut (optional)
Directions: dump pie filling and pineapple in a 9 x 12 cake pan. spread desired amount of coconut. I usually use a whole bag (small bag) on top of fruit. Spread the dry cake mix evenly over the fruit. Cut the stick of butter into small pats and place on top of the cake mix. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 to 1 hour or until butter is melted and the crust (cake mix) is a golden brown. Remove from oven and cool.
Tastes great by itself or with ice cream/cool whip. Refrigerate leftovers. This cake reheats nicely in the microwave if you want it warm.

Advice :
For a sandwich cake, double the quantity and slice in half after cooling, or bake in separate tins. Make a chocolate buttercream filling, and sandwich together.
Try adding cherries or other ingredients for a change.
Great warm or cold - the ultimate comfort food!
