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.

Tips:

  • Prepare ingredients in advance: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients measured and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling in the middle of the recipe.
  • Use room-temperature ingredients: When a recipe calls for room-temperature ingredients, it's important to follow that instruction. Room-temperature ingredients mix together more easily and evenly, resulting in a smoother batter and a better-baked cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The oven temperature and baking time are critical for a successful cake. Make sure you preheat the oven to the correct temperature and bake the cake for the amount of time specified in the recipe.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: It's important to let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting and seeping into the cake.

Conclusion:

The Texas Tornado Cake is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its layers of chocolate cake, chocolate pudding, and whipped cream, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Follow the tips above to ensure that your Texas Tornado Cake turns out perfectly. Happy baking!
