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)

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.

- Pour into a greased 9 inch x 13 inch pan.
- Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
- This cake is best with Fruit Cocktail Cake Icing #7062.

Tips:
- Choose the right cake mix. A white or yellow cake mix will work best for this recipe. If you use a chocolate cake mix, the cake will be too dense and heavy.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined.
- Use fresh fruit. Fresh fruit will give the cake the best flavor. If you use canned fruit, be sure to drain it well.
- Don't skimp on the glaze. The glaze is what gives the cake its signature shine and flavor. Be sure to use enough glaze to cover the entire cake.
- Serve the cake immediately. Fruit cocktail cake is best served immediately after it is made. The cake will start to lose its flavor and texture if it is stored for too long.
Conclusion:
Fruit cocktail cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy texture, sweet and tangy glaze, and colorful fruit topping, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
