Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup white granulated sugar
2 eggs
4 tablespoons butter (, softened)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 15 1/2 ounce can fruit cocktail in syrup, undrained
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup nuts (I used pecans)

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg and set aside. Cream the white sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla extract with a mixer. Add the two together and continue mixing. Fold in the fruit cocktail and mix with a spoon.
  • Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray and spread the cake batter in the dish. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup brown sugar over the top of the batter along with the nuts. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes checking for doneness since ovens vary.
  • Serve with whipped cream or ice cream on top. This cake does not need frosting. It is just that good but you could add about any type of frosting if you want.

FRUIT COCKTAIL CAKE

I adopted this delicious cake recipe from the RecipeZaar account in February 2005. The only changes I made were to add some vanilla and cut back the baking time. Be sure to top it with Recipe #7062, another of my adopted recipes.

Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups unbleached flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 (15 ounce) can fruit cocktail, undrained
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
  • Add eggs, fruit cocktail and vanilla and mix all ingredients well (by hand--do not use electric mixer); batter will seem very thick at first (if you use good fruit cocktail that has mostly fruit, not all juice), but this is the way it should be (the juice in the fruit cocktail is the only liquid in this recipe except, of course, the eggs).
  • Pour into a greased 9 inch x 13 inch pan.
  • Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
  • This cake is best with Fruit Cocktail Cake Icing #7062.

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)
