Fruit Cocktail Cake

I have had this recipe for years (I think it came from one of my Aunts) and kind of forgot about it, and Dad discovered it recently and has made it several times. It is super easy and really moist and delicious.

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 tsp. baking soda

1 15 oz. can fruit cocktail not drained, pour in juice and all

2 cups flour

2 eggs

Pour everything in a bowl and mix well, pour into Pammed 9x13 inch pan. Sprinkle with coconut if desired. Bake at 325 for 40 min. When it is almost done make the topping:

1/2 tsp. salt

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 pound butter

3/4 cup canned milk

Put all ingredients in saucepan and bring to boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 3 minutes. Pour over cake while cake is hot.

It will sink down in the middle a bit but it is really yummy even if it isn't beautiful.
