Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cup(s) self rising flour
1 can(s) (15 oz) fruit cocktail in heavy syrup, undrained
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup(s) sugar
FOR THE SAUCE:
1 stick(s) butter, unsalted
1 cup(s) sweetened coconut flakes
1 cup(s) sugar
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1 cup(s) evaporated milk
1 cup(s) chopped pecans

Steps:

  • preheat oven to 350.
  • spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray (i like the kind that has flour in it).
  • in a medium bowl, mix together all the cake ingredients at low speed using a stand or handheld electric mixer until thoroughly combined.
  • if you want to keep your fruit cocktail chunky in the batter, then add it in last after mixing all the other ingredients.
  • pour cake into baking pan.
  • bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes (oven time very so check after 30 minutes).
  • when done, cake should spring back to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. using a fork, poke a few holes in the cake. now make the sauce.
  • combine all the sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. note: i don't like my chopped pecans to be to big on top of the cake so sometimes i will crush them down to slightly smaller pieces.
  • turn the heat up and bring it all to a boil for 1 minute.
  • make sure you spread out the coconut and pecans evenly over the cake.
  • now dig in. i especially love to eat this cake while it is still warm. but it is good at room temperature to.
