Fruit cocktail cake
INGREDIENTS
•
1 1/2 cups sugar
•
2 eggs
•
2 cups Gold Medal UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)

1 cup chopped nuts
•
2 cups fruit cocktail with syrup (16-oz. can)
•
2 tsp. baking soda
•
1/4 cup brown sugar
•
For the icing:
•
1 stick butter (I used Land O’Lakes, because I already had some on hand, but use what you like–don’t need anything too fancy.)
•
1 cup coconut
•
3/4 cup brown sugar
•
1/2 cup evaporated milk or half-and-half
