FRUIT COCKTAIL DUMP CAKE

Steps:

• 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

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
• Add eggs, fruit cocktail and vanilla and mix all ingredients well (by hand--do not use electric mixer); batter will seem very thick at first (if you use good fruit cocktail that has mostly fruit, not all juice), but this is the way it should be (the juice in the fruit cocktail is the only liquid in this recipe except, of course, the eggs).
• Pour into a greased 9 inch x 13 inch pan.
• Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
