MAMA'S TEXAS TORNADO CAKE AKA FRUIT COCKTAIL CAKE
My mama made this often during the holidays. She always left the nuts out cause I had an allergic reaction to a nut when I was little. So only in the last few years have I given some nuts a try, the only two i have not tried was cashews and brazil nuts. However, I just do not have a desire now to eat nuts but this can be made...

FRUIT COCKTAIL CAKE- MOM'S
I don't know where Mom got this recipe but she made it often and could make it quickly if she needed a dessert. We always ate it up, usually before it got cold. Yum...... This is a popular recipe in the 1970's and 80's in Northern Indiana.

PAULA DEEN'S FRUIT COCKTAIL CAKE
This was adapted from this summer's edition of Cooking With Paula Deen, in the section called From My Friends. I decreased her quantity of oil in the cake and used less butter in the frosting; it was wonderful! Moist, sweet, and easy. The frosting recipe is at the bottom.

FRUIT COCKTAIL CAKE (FROM A CAKE MIX)
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)
