This is my son's favorite cake, and when he asks for it for his special birthday cake, he usually gets it! It's easy to make, and a good dessert to take to potlucks or social functions. There's always someone who wants the recipe, and I'm more than happy to oblige. Ingredients:
cake: |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1 can (16 ounces) fruit cocktail with syrup |
topping: |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup flaked coconut |
sauce: |
1/4 cup evaporated milk |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
1/2 cup flaked coconut |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine all cake ingredients; mix well. Pour into a 13-in. x 9-in. pan and sprinkle with topping ingredients. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes. Meanwhile, combine all sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. When cake is done and still warm, pour sauce over cake. Cool to room temperature. Yield: 15 servings.
