Quick and Easy…

I wanted to share this with you. I made it this weekend. I use to make it all the time when the kids were small. Only my  oldest daughter remembered it. I have to say it was a big hit with everyone once again. It’s easy and very good. With the sauce that goes on top, it really seems that you have worked really hard making a special treat.

FRUIT COCKTAIL CAKE

1 ½ cup sugar

1 t soda

2 cups fruit cocktail (and juice)

2 cups flour

1/8 t salt

2 eggs

½ cup brown sugar

1 cup chopped pecans

Combine sugar, eggs, flour, soda, salt, fruit cocktail and juice. Mix well and pour into greased 9 x 13 inch pan.  The batter will be thick , so don’t worry. Sprinkle  brown sugar and nuts on top of batter. Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

Sauce:

1 stick butter, melted
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. evaporated milk

Combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil. Boil 1 1/2 minutes. Spoon over warm cake.

I actually just spoon the sauce over each piece of cake as I serve it and not over the whole cake.

I wish I had a picture to show ya, but they ate it all ! Yummmmmy

A new study shows that licking the sweat off a frog can cure depression. The down side is, the minute you stop licking, the frog gets depressed again.
