I adopted this delicious cake recipe from the RecipeZaar account in February 2005. The only changes I made were to add some vanilla and cut back the baking time. Be sure to top it with Recipe #7062, another of my adopted recipes.

Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups unbleached flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 (15 ounce) can fruit cocktail, undrained
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
  • Add eggs, fruit cocktail and vanilla and mix all ingredients well (by hand--do not use electric mixer); batter will seem very thick at first (if you use good fruit cocktail that has mostly fruit, not all juice), but this is the way it should be (the juice in the fruit cocktail is the only liquid in this recipe except, of course, the eggs).
  • Pour into a greased 9 inch x 13 inch pan.
  • Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
  • This cake is best with Fruit Cocktail Cake Icing #7062.

FRUIT COCKTAIL CAKE (FROM A CAKE MIX)



Fruit Cocktail Cake (from a Cake Mix) image

This delicious cake comes together fast, starting with a cake mix. I think the flavor is very subtle, and the cake is quite moist. The original recipe had a syrupy sweet icing on it, but I added the coconut/brown sugar on top instead, and I think it makes this a nice snacking cake. (*NOTE: I used a fruit cocktail I've found that has guava, mango, etc., and found the pieces a little large, so I chopped it up a bit before adding to mixture. The regular fruit cocktail with grapes, etc., should be fine w/o that)

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen fruit. Fresh fruit is ideal, but frozen fruit works well too. Just be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Drain the fruit well. This will prevent the cake batter from becoming too wet.
  • Use a light-colored cake mix. This will allow the fruit to shine through.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:
