FRUIT COCKTAIL CAKE (FROM A CAKE MIX)



Fruit Cocktail Cake (from a Cake Mix) image

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)

Simple Tinned Fruit Cake image

This upside-down fruit salad cake is a quick and easy store cupboard standby with only three ingredients. Fun, frugal and tasty, it's also vegan and fat free.

Provided by Helen Best-Shaw

Categories     Baked Goods

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 3

410 g fruit salad/cocktail in juice
100 g caster sugar (I prefer golden)
185 g self raising flour

Steps:

  • Measure out the self-raising flour and sugar. Switch the oven to 170°C (fan)/340°F/Gas Mark 5 to heat up. The cake needs to go into a hot oven, so wait for it to reach the temperature before you start to mix the batter.
  • Grease a 8" x 6" cake tin with vegetable oil or cake release spray, and line the bottom with baking paper (greaseproof paper or baking parchment). Lightly oil the top of the paper.
  • Arrange the drained fruit in the cake tin.
  • Put the flour and sugar in a large mixing bowl and add the juice along with two tbsp cold water. Mix with a spoon or spatula to make a thick batter.
  • Spread the batter over the fruit. Then gently shake the cake pan from side to side to spread the batter out. Put in the oven immediately to bake for 35 minutes.
  • Test to see if the cake is cooked. When it's ready the top will be golden and springy to touch. A tooth pick pushed into the middle of the cake should come out clean. If not, return the cake to the oven for another 5 minutes before checking again.
  • Let the cake stand for 5 minutes to cool and firm up.
  • Put a wire cooling rack over the cake and carefully flip it over. Carefully remove the tin. Slowly and carefully peel off the parchment paper using a knife if any fruit gets stuck to it.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe fruit: This will give your cake the best flavor. If you're using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a variety of fruits: This will give your cake a more complex flavor. Some good choices include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and peaches.
  • Get creative with your frosting: You can use a simple buttercream frosting, or you can get creative and try something different, such as a cream cheese frosting or a whipped cream frosting.
  • Serve the cake immediately: Fruit cocktail cake is best served fresh. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
