SUPER EASY FRUIT COCKTAIL COBBLER CAKE
This is a super quick, super easy dessert to make. Three ingredients and two minutes of prep time is all it takes. Doesn't get any easier. I've used other items instead of fruit cocktail like canned pears, canned blueberries or canned cherries. I've also sprinkled coconut on top of the cake before baking which adds great flavor. Serve plain, with Cool Whip or your favorite ice cream.

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)

Tips:
- Choose seasonal fruits: Using seasonal fruits not only ensures the best flavor but also helps keep the cost down.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a light touch when folding in the fruit: This will help prevent the fruit from breaking down and becoming mushy.
- Don't overbake the cake: Overbaking can dry out the cake. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will help the cake set and make it easier to slice.

Fruit cocktail cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and fruity filling, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
