01 -

The fruit creates natural juices that bubble up through the cake layer making every bite different
Its literally impossible to mess up because you just dump and bake
Serve it warm and the chocolate gets all gooey like a sundae

02 -

Don't skip the cooling time because it needs those minutes to set from bubbling chaos to scoopable dessert
The cake mix should look completely dry before baking or you'll end up with floury patches
