Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 15-ounce can fruit cocktail, undrained
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 1/2 cups sweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, place all the cake ingredients and beat at low speed until blended. Scrape down the sides and beat again at low speed for one minute more. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, combine all the sauce ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once the mixture is boiling, continue stirring and boil for 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour the sauce over the hot cake and quickly spread it with a spatula for even coverage.
