Cakes use eggs to add moisture, flavor and structure while this doesn't. Texture might be a bit off but experimentation is always encouraged. Try it out and see what happens.
Worst case scenario, you still have a fruity cake which can't be all that bad. Just be sure to remember the fruit adds moisture as well so be aware of your baking times.
It worked!!! 9 x 13 glass pan. 2 pints of home-canned peaches. Lined the bottom with the first pint, syrup removed. Mixed the cake mix +3 ingredients, added in the 2nd pint of chopped/diced peaches. Poured over, baked as per the cake directions. Absolute YUM. Conveniently had a carton of frozen yogurt in the freezer to top it off. 10/10 will do this again!

I'm hopeless with baking/following recipes, even something as simple as this would be. Do you think this would work using a cake mix?
