SUPER EASY FRUIT COCKTAIL COBBLER CAKE



Super Easy Fruit Cocktail Cobbler Cake image

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.

Time 47m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

2 (15 ounce) cans fruit cocktail (I use Del Monte Carb Clever to cut down on some of the sugar)
1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt one stick of butter in a microwave safe dish for 1 minute 40 seconds on 50% power.

  • Drizzle melted butter over top of cake mix. (Cake mix does not need to be completely covered in butter).
  • (Optional - sprinkle a small amount coconut on top of the cake before baking, photo shows it with coconut).
  • Bake on 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

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)

cake
1 1/2 c granulated sugar
2 large eggs

  • 2. Add flour, salt and baking soda.
  • 3. Add fruit cocktail with the juice; mix well.
  • 4. Pour batter into a greased and floured 9x13x2 inch pan. I use Kittencal's professional pan coating.

  • 12. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful cake, use fresh or frozen fruit. Thaw frozen fruit before using.
  • Use a variety of fruits to add color and flavor to the cake. Some good options include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, and pineapple.
  • Be sure to drain the fruit well before adding it to the cake batter. This will prevent the cake from becoming too wet.
  • For a richer cake, use butter instead of oil. You can also add a cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown on top.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
