SUPER EASY FRUIT COCKTAIL COBBLER CAKE



Super Easy Fruit Cocktail Cobbler Cake image

This is a super quick, super easy dessert to make. Three ingredients and two minutes of prep time is all it takes. Doesn't get any easier. I've used other items instead of fruit cocktail like canned pears, canned blueberries or canned cherries. I've also sprinkled coconut on top of the cake before baking which adds great flavor. Serve plain, with Cool Whip or your favorite ice cream.

Categories     Dessert

Time 47m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 (15 ounce) cans fruit cocktail (I use Del Monte Carb Clever to cut down on some of the sugar)
1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt one stick of butter in a microwave safe dish for 1 minute 40 seconds on 50% power.
  • Pour entire contents of fruit cocktail cans (juice and all) into a 8 X 11 glass pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Spread fruit cocktail evenly on bottom of pan.
  • Sprinkle box of yellow cake mix, evenly, over top of fruit cocktail. Do NOT mix cake mix and fruit cocktail. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out cake mix.
  • Drizzle melted butter over top of cake mix. (Cake mix does not need to be completely covered in butter).
  • (Optional - sprinkle a small amount coconut on top of the cake before baking, photo shows it with coconut).
  • Bake on 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 8x8 cake, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups fruit

Steps:

  • Preheat the over to 350F (180C). Butter an 8x8 baking dish.
  • In a big bowl whisk together the eggs and the sugar just until it all comes together, about 30 seconds, no more.
  • Add the flour (and baking powder if using) and wisk together just until the flour disappears and there are no more lumps, about 45 seconds, no more. The batter will be quite thick and there won't be a lot of it.
  • Spread the fruit over the bottom of the dish and spread the batter over. It will barely cover the fruit and it'll look like it's not enough, but it will be great. Alternatively you can mix the fruit with the batter.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes depending on your oven. A toothpick inserted into the cake should come out clean when the cake is ready.

EASY PEASY HEALTHY FRUIT CAKE



Easy Peasy Healthy Fruit Cake image

This throw together" fruit cake might not cut the mustard against some of the more decadent fruit cakes, but is scrumptious nonetheless. I offer it to you as a perfect natural rescue remedy for any sugar cravings, or as a quick easy cake for those surprise guests who pop over for a cup of tea on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Most fruit cakes contain nuts, sugar and alcohol. This fruit-sweetened cake is nut-free and dairy free - good news for those of you with food allergies; and perfect for anyone wanting a healthier alternative to refined sugar-sweetened cakes. Fruit is sweet enough. The best thing about this cake - it is unbelievably moist. I have used rice and potato flours to make this cake easy and affordable. But it works really well with a buckwheat, tapioca, rice flour mix as well.Try to purchase mango tinned in natural fruit juice instead of sugar syrup. This mildly flavoured cake hits a sweet spot without making you sick.
