Number Of Ingredients 14

CAKE INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 c vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 c plain flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 can(s) fruit cocktail with syrup (15 oz can)
TOPPING INGREDIENTS
1 stick butter
3/4 c sugar
1/2 c evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla flavor
1/2 c chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. CAKE: Beat eggs; add sugar and oil and mix well. Sift flour, salt, & soda and add to egg mixture. Add fruit cocktail with syrup. Mix with electric mixer until fruit is well mixed.
  • 2. Pour into greased and floured tube pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes at 325 degrees. Cool 10 minutes in pan. Remove, and frost while still warm with this topping:
  • 3. TOPPING: boil milk, sugar, and butter for about 5 minutes. Add nuts and vanilla. Pour over cake while still warm.
  • 4. We like assembling this cake in a large glass bowl. The topping will run down the sides of the cake and collect underneath, where it can be spooned over each slice. If you use a cake plate, let the topping cool somewhat first or it will run all over your cake plate and even drip off.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
