This fruit cocktail is different than other recipes in that it has butter added. It does make a difference!

I like to mash the fruit cocktail just a bit with a potato masher. Less "chunky" that way. Great recipe Read More

Tip #1: If you don't have self-rising flour just add 1 1/4 tsp baking powder and 1/14 tsp salt for every cup of flour in a recipe.:) Tip#2: It didn't work too well to convert to a bundt pan or I needed to increase the time from 45 min to 55. Tasted pretty good anyway! Almost like bread pudding. Read More

Wonderful cake! I made a sauce of 1/4c butter 1/2c sugar and 1/4c buttermilk. Boiled it for 5 minutes and added a tsp of vanilla. I poked holes in the cake with a fork while still hot and poured it over the cake. Thanks for a great recipe! Read More
