    Mix in the fruit cocktail.

    In a separate bowl sift together flour and baking soda.
  • Step 4
    Add the dry ingredients to the fruit cocktail mixture.
  • Step 5
    Pour into a lightly greased & floured 13" X 9" cake pan. (I prefer using parchment paper in my pans.)Sprinkle brown sugar and nuts onto the surface of the batter. Put into a preheated 325F degree oven and cook for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  • Step 6
    After about 30 minutes start the topping. Gently boil the butter, milk and sugar for 2 minutes then add the coconut. The cake should now be ready.
  • Step 7
    Spoon hot topping over the cake as soon as it is removed from the oven. Let the cake cool before cutting it.
