This is also called Fruit Cocktail Cake. It originally called for 2 cups of sugar, but I found it too sweet and cut it to 1 cup.
INGREDIENTS (for 1 servings):
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 eggs
- 1 (16 ounce) can fruit cocktail
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup flaked coconut
PREPARATION:
Sift together flour, 1 cup sugar, salt, and baking soda. Beat 2 eggs and pour over dry mixture. Add fruit cocktail. Stir together.
Grease and flour pan. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 45 minutes.
Over low heat, cook together 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup butter or margarine and coconut. Pour over cake while still hot.
