Fruit Cocktail Cake

By

This was a recipe of my friend, Chris Kemp. I went to school with her husband Harvey at Claremont.

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup flour
  • 1 Cup sugar
  • 1 tsp soda
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 tsp melted butter
  • pinch salt
  • 1 small can fruit cocktail UNdrained (#3 size)
  • For topping
  • Brown sugar
  • Chopped nuts

Preparation

Step 1

Mix flour, sugar, fruit cocktail, egg, soda, butter and salt together.

Pour in greased, floured 7 x 11 x 1 inch pan (or similar size)

Before baking, sprinkle 1/4 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) over top.

Bake for one hour. Is delicious alone or served with whipping cream or ice cream.

Note: Cake will have better texture if left in oven until cool (turn oven off, of course).
