I remember this cake taken to picnics when I was a young girl. Oh, how marvelous, moist and gooey it was! I have made it many times since, but it always looked more like a white cake with fruit cocktail in it, not the gooey creation I remembered from those long ago picnics. So this time, I made the cake with brown sugar (you could also add 1 tsp of black strap molasses to white sugar), and it was the fruit cocktail cake I remembered. Yum! Thanks for sharing.
