Fruit Cocktail Dump Cake

15 oz. cans very cherry fruit cocktail

16.5 oz yellow cake mix

butter (melted)

pecan pieces

Preheat oven to 350.

Drain two cans of the fruit cocktail. In a bowl, mix together the two cans of drained fruit cocktail and the third can (fruit + light syrup). Pour the fruit mixture into a 9 x 13 baking pan prepared with non-stick baking spray.

Spread fruit into an even layer. Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the fruit and spread into an even layer.

Drizzle the top of the cake mix with the melted butter, trying to cover as much of the top of the cake mix as possible. Sprinkle with nuts.

Bake for 48 - 52 minutes until the top of the cake is browned and the filling is gently bubbling around the edges. (Test with a toothpick to make sure there is no raw/liquid batter.)

Fruit Cocktail Cake

can fruit cocktail

eggs

vanilla extract

unsalted butter

coconut flakes

evaporated milk

pecans

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray (I like the kind that has flour in it.)

In a medium bowl, mix together 2 cups self-rising flour, 15 ounce can fruit cocktail in heavy syrup, undrained, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 11 1/2 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer at low speed until thoroughly combined.

Pour cake batter evenly into prepared baking dish.

Bake at 350F degrees for 30-35 minutes (oven times vary so check after 30 minutes.) When done, cake should spring back to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

For the cake:

Combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup evaporated milk and 1 cup chopped pecans in a medium sauce pan.

Turn the heat up and bring it all to a boil for one minute.

Using a fork, poke a few holes in the cake.

Pour warm sauce over warm cake. Make sure to spread out the coconut and pecans evenly over cake.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

For the sauce:

Haven’t made in several years, so delicious

I've been looking for this recipe for a long time thank you for sharing.

Very good. A little like a fruity tres leches cake. I took it to a potluck and it was one of the first things gone LOL

My hubby and I really enjoyed this. So unique and very tasty

I made it for a church potluck. It was wonderful! Not one piece was left. Definitely a hit with the church fam!

Very good and reminds of a cake my Mom used to make in the 60's. So moist and so good! Everyone at church loved it!

My husband loved this. Any suggestions to reduce the amount of sugar?

I’ve loved this cake since I was a little girl! My mom would make it for the holidays during winter. I lost her recipe when my little family moved during our time in the military. This year I’m making it for my birthday tomorrow the 24th of January. Thank you for having such a great detailed recipe. And yes it will be eaten warm with some vanilla ice cream lol!!
