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)

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box yellow cake mix (I use the kind with pudding in the mix, Betty Crocker)
1 (16 ounce) can fruit cocktail, undrained
1 cup coconut, plus
1/2 cup coconut
2 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat to 325*.
  • Combine cake mix, fruit cocktail with juices, 1 cup of coconut and eggs in a large mixer bowl.
  • Blend, then beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Pour batter into greased 9x13 pan, or two 8x8 pans.
  • Sprinkle batter evenly with remaining 1/2 cup of coconut, and then 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
  • Bake at 325* for 45 min (if 9x13 pan; about 30-35 min for two pans).
  • Serve warm or room temp; stays moist for several days.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, fresh fruits. This will give your cake the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cake. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean when the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Joyce's Fabulous Fruit Cocktail Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy texture, sweet and tangy fruit filling, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
