This is a light, delightful cake that I got the recipe for while visiting Kathy in rural Arizona. Lovely on those hot, dry days and a perfect accompaniment for social teatime gatherings!

2 cups flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 eggs, beaten |
1 (16 ounce) can fruit cocktail, well-drained (reserve a tablespoon of juice for sauce and set that aside for later) |
1/2 cup nuts (any nuts can be used, i prefer walnuts) |
1/2 cup butter |
1 tablespoon reserved juice from fruit cocktail |
1 cup powdered sugar |
1 egg, beaten |
