Fruit Cocktail Cake
My Aunt Mary made this cake every year for my Grandpa's birthday. I was never allowed to eat any because it was ALL for my Grandpa. Banning a child from something sweet, what an unrealistic thought ;) Well now I can make the cake and eat all I want, not that I would, never mind my post about Pineapple Upside Down Cake. This is "What's Cookin" on Beaty's Creek today.
Needed:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 t baking soda
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar

Mix all of the ingredients together and bake in a 9x13 pan at 350' for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool slightly and ice with the following icing.
