How do you adjust a cake mix when adding fruit?

If dried fruit such as raisins or chopped dates are added to a cake mix, no adjustments are needed. Tossing the dried fruit with a Tbs of flour or bit of the dry mix will prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom.

If juicy fruit such as canned pineApple is added, the fruit should be thoroughly drained (reserving liquid), patted dry, and tossed with a bit of flour (or a Tbs of the dry cake mix) before it is added to the batter. The reserved liquid may be used for part or all of the water called for in the instructions.
