Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Spread mixed berries evenly in the dish. Sprinkle sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and salt over the top. Toss gently to coat.
Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the berry layer — do not stir.
Drizzle melted butter evenly across the surface, covering as much dry mix as possible.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the berries are bubbling at the edges.
Let it cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
