Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Self-rising flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Canned fruit cocktail
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, granulated sugar, and canned fruit cocktail (including its juice).
Use a spoon or spatula to stir the ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix—the batter will be thick.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with the back of your spoon or spatula.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.
