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.
I like that it has only has common ingredients in it, so chances are I always have everything in my pantry. It’s truly a no-fuss recipe, that you can literally grab the recipe and get it in the oven within 5 minutes.
Yet, don’t let the name ‘Fruit Cocktail Cake’ project images of Fruit Cake though {I 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

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!
This is an amazing way to use fruit cocktail!
