How to Make Best Ever Fruit Cocktail Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Stir in 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained, and 1 (15 ounce) can fruit cocktail, drained.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar or add your favorite frosting before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
