Description

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

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

Directions

1 Sift together flour, 1 cup sugar, salt, and baking soda. Beat 2 eggs and pour over dry mixture. Add fruit cocktail. Stir together.
2 Grease and flour pan. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 45 minutes.
3 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.
