Fruit Cocktail Yellow cake
In reply to Shelley,
I have this recipe for something called a 'Dump Cake' , that matches what you are talking about. My recipie does not call for fruit cocktail but for pie filling. I would think it would work the same no matter what you use.
Dump Cake
1 can pie filling (apple, blueberry, peach, cherry)
1 small box (9oz.) or 1/2 large box (18.25 oz.) white or yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter (1 stick) melted
1/2 cup nuts (if desired)
Grease an 8" X 8" pan. Pour the pie filling (in your case fruit cocktail) into the pan. Shake the cake mix over the top. Pour the butter on top; do not stir. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake the cake 40 minutes @ 350 degrees.
I got this from a retired Marine friend that got it out of the newspaper about a year ago. You may need to pour off some liquid or thicken it a little so it is more like pie filling, but his recipe is so easy, and my 22 year old son got to it before I did and ate all but 1 piece before I could even try it.
John :P
