I won a recipe contest judged by Jamie Shannon, of Commanders Palace, New Orleans, LA, with this one. Be sure to serve it up in small slices, it's rich!. It also freezes very well and can be sliced with a sharp knife while still frozen.

1 1/2 c sugar

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c salad oil
15 1/4 oz can fruit cocktail, undrained (no 303 can)
1/3 c flaked coconut, (just enough to lightly cover)
topping:
3/4 c sugar
1 stick butter
1/2 c evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

Tips:

  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
