  1. I made this 50 years ago in 4-H and had lost the recipe. What a joy to find it again. I made some changes only because I didn't have the correct size can of fruit cocktail. I added 1 14.5 oz can of sugar free fruit cocktai and all the juice, one small can of mandarine oranges less about 2/3 of its juice. For a sauce I used one cup of powdered sugar, sifted; 1/4 cup orange juice and 2 TBS apricot brandy. Mixed them together, poked holes in the warm cake and drizzled the glaze over the top. I gave big samples to two different neighbors and they both called later and told me that it was excellent. What a fun and easy mix. It is almost like a fruit cocktail pudding cake when warm. Good recipe.
