Blackberry Lemon Dump Cake

Prepared blackberry filling supplies the sauce, and frozen whole berries keep the pan from looking like purple jam under cake mix. Lemon zest brightens the sweet fruit without adding more liquid. Rub the zest into the dry mix before spreading so its oils reach more than one corner.
