The ingredients needed to make Fruit Cocktail Cake:

Add eggs, fruit cocktail and vanilla and mix all ingredients well (by hand–do not use electric mixer); batter will seem very thick at first (if you use good fruit cocktail that has mostly fruit, not all juice), but this is the way it should be (the juice in the fruit cocktail is the only liquid in this recipe. Fruit Cocktail in Syrup: The simple chemistry of this cake just doesn't work the same way if you use a fruit cocktail in juice. The fruit cocktail in syrup is important! Skip the Box: The reason I don't use boxed cake mix in my recipe is that with the simplicity of this recipe, a mix doesn't really seem like convenience at all!
