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

Easy Fruit Cocktail Cake recipe

 

Fruit Cocktail Cake

 

Proving the name is wrong, here’s one incredible Carrot Cake that will change the minds of anyone that doesn’t care for this type of cake. Even pumpkin fans will fall for this Pumpkin Bundt Cake.

Don’t let the name ‘Fruit Cocktail’ project images of traditional Christmas Fruit Cake though {I detest that stuff}. This AMAZING Fruit Cocktail Dump Cake is moist, sweet and best served warm.

This could very well be one of my top 5 favourite cake recipes ever. Plus, I recently discovered that it is a traditional and classic cake recipe, go figure!

Once you taste this cake though, you’ll know why.

 

How do you make a Fruit Cocktail Cake?

 

I absolutely love that this recipe only has common ingredients in it, so chances are I always have everything in my pantry. It’s truly a no-fuss recipe.

Every time I make fruit cocktail cake I think of how I can literally grab the recipe and get it in the oven within 5 minutes. Trust me, it’s that easy!

This easy Fruit Cocktail Cake recipe is a quick family favourite. Serve it up for dessert or invite your friends for coffee. It’s one of those go-to’s when time-crunched for sure.

One of my daughters requested this for her birthday one year, and that didn’t but did surprise me. I’m happy this recipe has made such a lasting impression on those who’ve tried it.

Then, dolloped with cold whipped topping – perfecto! Don’t skip this part, because, whip cream! YUM!

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

    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!

    Hi – If I want to double this recipe ( fruit cocktail cake) what size pan would I use? Same temperature? How long of time?? Thanks very much. Sue

      If you double, I’d say the 9×13 would be great. As long as it’s not too deep, I’d maybe increase bake time by 4 minutes, yet maybe check the middle to make sure. 🙂
