Ingredients

1 1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
2 c fruit cocktail including the liquid
2 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 c chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
TOPPING
1/2 c butter
1/2 c evaporated milk
3/4 c sugar
1 c flaked coconut

Steps:

1. In a large bowl, cream sugar and eggs together until fluffy.
2. Mix in the fruit cocktail.
3. In a separate bowl sift together flour and baking soda.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the fruit cocktail mixture.
5. Pour into a lightly greased & floured 13" X 9" cake pan. (I prefer using parchment paper in my pans.)Sprinkle brown sugar and nuts onto the surface of the batter. Put into a preheated 325F degree oven and cook for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
6. After about 30 minutes start the topping. Gently boil the butter, milk and sugar for 2 minutes then add the coconut. The cake should now be ready.
7. Spoon hot topping over the cake as soon as it is removed from the oven. Let the cake cool before cutting it.

Tips:

Use cake mix: This is a great way to save time and effort, and it still produces a delicious cake.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
For a fun twist, try using different flavors of cake mix: Such as chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry.
You can also add other ingredients to the batter, Such as nuts, chocolate chips, or fruit.
Get creative with your frosting: You can use any type of frosting you like, such as chocolate, vanilla, or cream cheese.
You can also decorate the cake with sprinkles, candy, or fruit.
