Need a Dessert Fast? Fruit Cocktail Cake Recipe

 

Maybe one of the easiest desert recipes to make, Fruit Cocktail Cake is my go-to when I’m time crunched or just don’t feel like spending a ton of time baking.

I like that it has only has common ingredients in it, so chances are I always have everything in my pantry. A no-fuss recipe, you can literally grab the recipe and get it in the oven in 5 minutes.

Yet, don’t let the name ‘Fruit Cocktail Cake’ project images of Fruit Cake though {detest that stuff}. Fruit Cocktail Cake  is moist, sweet and best served warm.

Then, dolloped with cold whipped topping – perfecto!

Enjoy!

      I know Shannon! I second guess myself each time I make it, and pull out my recipe card. I ALWAYS say to myself, “thats it, it’s not gonna change!” lol
      So very easy and simple, Huge on taste!

  9. Love it! This seems like a twist on the “cuppa cuppa cuppa” cake from Steel Magnolias, which I’ve made many times. Next time, I’ll try your version. Thanks for the idea!
