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:
- Use fresh fruit. Fresh fruit will give your cake the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen fruit, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a greased and floured pan. This will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
- Test the cake for doneness before removing it from the oven. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
Fruit cocktail cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover fruit, and it's always a hit with kids and adults alike. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give fruit cocktail cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
