MAMA'S TEXAS TORNADO CAKE AKA FRUIT COCKTAIL CAKE



Mama's Texas Tornado cake AKA Fruit Cocktail Cake image

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...
