Ingredients
- 1 cup Self-rising flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Canned fruit cocktail
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, granulated sugar, and canned fruit cocktail (including its juice).
Step 4
Use a spoon or spatula to stir the ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix—the batter will be thick.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with the back of your spoon or spatula.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
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.
