FRUIT COCKTAIL CAKE

From FIRST LADY
FRUIT COCKTAIL CAKE

So much for healthy eating! I received an e-mail from a reader asking for the recipe to the “Fruit Cocktail Cake” referred to in FIRST LADY. This is a dessert I made in the late 70s or early 80s and haven’t made since.

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees. Mix the following ingredients in an ungreased 8X8X2 inch cake pan.
CAKE:

  • 1 C flour
  • 1 C sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 can (8 3/4 oz.) fruit cocktail
  • Optional: 1/2 C chopped nuts

Bake 30 minutes. Frost immediately.

FROSTING: (My old notes say not to double for double recipe.)

  • 1/4 C butter, softened
  • 1 pkg. (3 oz.) cream cheese softened
  • 1 C confectioners sugar sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Blend all ingredients together until smooth. Frost cake while warm.
