Fruit Cocktail Cake

Here is another classic Grandma Heath recipe. It was almost always a staple at any of the summer picnics. I love this cake!  Edited - I was told that the ingredients that I originally had written were for a smaller pan - I have updated to indicate what is needed for a 9 x 13 :)

Ingredients:
Cake
2 egg
2 cup fruit cocktail (one can undrained)
2 cup flour
2 cup sugar
2teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
brown sugar
nut meats
Butter Sauce - (The sauce is the best part :)  Make sure that to put plenty on each piece!
2 cup sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk
2 stick real butter

Directions:
Beat 2 egg and add 2 cup fruit cocktail. Sift and add 2 cup flour, 2 cup sugar, 2 teaspoon soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt.Put in greased 9x13 dish and sprinkle with brown sugar and nut meats.Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.

Serve with Butter Sauce:
Bring sugar, evaporated milk and butter to boil and pour over each serving.

  1. Laura - I doubled everything as they told me too. The only think that I may question is the sauce... But my theory is that there is never too much sauce! Yum.
