This is a delicious, moist, old-fashioned cake. I got the recipe from my sister-in-law, Ada. I have seen similar recipes called fruit cocktail cake. Whatever it is called, it is delicious.
1 package yellow cake mix
1 small package instant lemon pudding mix ( vanilla also works)
1 16 oz can fruit cocktail
1 cup coconut
4 eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 chopped pecans
Blend all together except the brown sugar and nuts. I blend the fruit cocktail in my little bullet blender, but you don't have to do that.
Beat for four minutes in your stand mixer at medium speed. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar and nuts over the top. Bake at 325 for 45 minutes. Cool in pan for about 15 minutes. Then combine 1/2 cup each of butter, sugar, and evaporated milk. After the butter is melted and it is boiling, boil for two minutes. Stir in 1 1/3 cup coconut. Spread it over the cake. Let cool.
