   Jerilynn sent in this request, posted in our last newsletter: My grandmother   
   used to make a cake with fruit cocktail (canned I think). It was super moist,   
   and I think we topped it with Cool Whip.  I don't know if she used a box mix   
   or a scratch recipe.  This was back in the latter part of the 60s.  Does   
   anyone have this recipe?

   Hi! We always called it dump cake. This is on par with what I remember; found   
   it at   
   http://www.cooks.com/recipe/z738b8eq/fruit-cocktail-dump-cake.html   
      
   1 (16 oz.) can fruit cocktail   
   1 (7.5 oz.) can pineapple (tidbits or crushed) 1 c. coconut   
   1 c. chopped nuts   
   1 (18.5 oz.) pkg. yellow cake mix   
   1 1/2 sticks butter   
   water   
   lightly sweetened whipped cream   
   Drain fruit cocktail and pineapple. Save juices in measuring cup. Evenly   
   spread fruits, coconut and nuts on bottom of 9 x 13 cake pan.  Cover with dry   
   cake mix.  Melt butter and evenly distribute over cake mix.  Add water to   
   fruit juices to make 3/4 cup.  Sprinkle juice over cake mix.   
      
   Bake 40 minutes at 350 degrees F. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
