mama's texas tornado cake aka fruit cocktail cake
(4 ratings)
My mama made this often during the holidays. She always left the nuts out cause I had an allergic reaction to a nut when I was little. So only in the last few years have I given some nuts a try, the only two i have not tried was cashews and brazil nuts. However, I just do not have a desire now to eat nuts but this can be made with or without nuts.
