Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layers, ensuring it's distributed in an even layer.

Drizzle the melted butter across the top of the cake mix, aiming to cover as much of the dry mix as possible.

If using chopped nuts, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the butter-covered cake mix.
