Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
2 c fruit cocktail including the liquid
2 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 c chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
TOPPING
1/2 c butter
1/2 c evaporated milk
3/4 c sugar
1 c flaked coconut

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, cream sugar and eggs together until fluffy.
  • 2. Mix in the fruit cocktail.
  • 3. In a separate bowl sift together flour and baking soda.
  • 4. Add the dry ingredients to the fruit cocktail mixture.
  • 5. Pour into a lightly greased & floured 13" X 9" cake pan. (I prefer using parchment paper in my pans.)Sprinkle brown sugar and nuts onto the surface of the batter. Put into a preheated 325F degree oven and cook for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  • 6. After about 30 minutes start the topping. Gently boil the butter, milk and sugar for 2 minutes then add the coconut. The cake should now be ready.
  • 7. Spoon hot topping over the cake as soon as it is removed from the oven. Let the cake cool before cutting it.

This cake was a complete mess. It fell apart when I tried to cut it and the frosting was too runny. I would not recommend this recipe.
