2
- 1 can (15 oz) fruit cocktail, drained
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
- For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat together the sugar and vegetable oil until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix!
- Add Fruit Cocktail: Fold in the drained fruit cocktail and chopped nuts, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the cake is baking, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
- Cool and Glaze: Once the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Once completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
- Serve: Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your homemade fruit cocktail cake.
Notes
- Storage: This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
- Customization: Feel free to swap out the fruit cocktail for your favorite fruits or add spices like cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat
