This Easy Fruit co*cktail Cake Recipe is made with only FOUR ingredients! It’s a perfect cake to make for last minute company.
The easy cake recipe is so delicious that no one will ever guess just how easy it is to make or that it only took you 5 minutes to get it all mixed up and baking in the oven.
Since everything you need to make this easy fruit co*cktail cake (except for the butter) is shelf stable, you can store the ingredients in the pantry to have on hand when you need to make a dessert in a hurry!
You start this yummy fruit co*cktail cake with cake mix and in a few extra ingredients and you’re done.
While we like to use a white cake mix, a yellow cake mix is also a great option (especially if that is what you happen to have in your pantry.)
This recipe is so adaptable. As I mentioned, you can use a different cake mix to change the taste. For example, you can use a Butter Pecan Cake Mix and use pecans in the cake as well or in the garnish!
(Speaking of cake mix, you might want to also try our Slow Cooker Butter Pecan Cake recipe – it only uses TWO ingedients!)
If you’re a coconut fan, add in a bit of coconut before baking. The options are only limited to your imagination!
The recipe calls for one half cup of butter (which is one stick), frozen. That might mean you want to keep a stick in the freezer to make the cake when the time comes.
Alternatively, you can grate up your frozen stick of butter ahead of time and then keep the frozen shreds in the freezer so that the recipe is even quicker to make when you’re ready to make an easy cake.

This unexpected addition can take your cake recipes to a whole new level. To incorporate mayonnaise into your cake batter, simply add a couple of tablespoons to the mix. The result? A tender and moist cake that will have everyone asking for seconds.
For a light, airy cake, swap out whole eggs for egg whites. Use two egg whites for every egg called for on the box. Combine the cake mix with the ingredients aside from the eggs. Whip the egg whites separately until medium peaks form, then gently fold them into the batter.
Fruit Cake Mix is an assortment of bakers mix, almond slivers, almond flakes, mix cut peel and cherries and is a must-have ingredient for the baker's kitchen. You can use this Dry Fruit Cake Mix to bake your own all-time favourite traditional fruit cake to celebrate the festive season.
Fat: Butter, oil, or a combination of both can help make a cake moist. Oil tends to make cakes moister than butter. Eggs: They provide structure and moisture. Some recipes might call for separating the yolks and whites and beating the whites to stiff peaks for added fluffiness.
Most cakes will call for a leavening agent like baking powder or baking soda. These create the bubbles you need for the cake to rise. If the flour you use is self-raising, it already has a leavening agent in it. Make sure your butter is room temperature, and beat the butter and sugar together until properly creamed.
That's where sugar comes in. Sugar helps to retain water, reduce gluten development and delay starch gelatinization. The setting of the structure of a cake takes place when carbon dioxide production from leavening agents is at its maximum, the gas is held in the air cells of the structure.
Boxed cake mixes tend to be lighter in consistency, but if you're craving that thicker, moister, denser cake, then all you have to do is add an extra egg to your mix. The additional fat in the egg yolk helps create a more tender and moist cake that is full of flavor.
For chemically-leavened cakes — that is, cakes calling for baking powder or baking soda — it's OK if you don't remember to add the eggs until the end. Martina says, “Late in the mixing stage, eggs will incorporate better if you lightly beat them before adding to the batter.
The carbon dioxide bubbles in soda pop act as a leavening agent — the element that makes baked goods rise and makes them light and fluffy. Kitchen staple leaveners — like baking soda and baking powder — use a chemical reaction to create carbon dioxide bubbles.
A fruit cake, similar to a Christmas cake, iced with marzipan and royal icing is traditional at British weddings. Another tradition is that the married couple keep a slice for the first born child to eat.
Fruit mix is a glazed mix full of orange and lemon peel, cherries, pineapple and citron for a colorful candied creation! Try adding this mix to your favorite fruit salad recipe or as an ingredient in holiday fruit cake. This special mello mix also makes a beautiful garnish for drinks and other desserts.
Fruit co*cktail is packed with healthy vitamins and minerals. A typical can of fruit co*cktail comes with grapes, pineapple, peaches, pears and cherries. Here's a short list of nutrients found in one can of fruit co*cktail: Vitamin A.
Those extra 40 calories and 7 grams of sugar are all from added sugars. Fruit co*cktail may seem like a tasty alternative, but buyer beware! Many varieties are packed in heavy or light syrup, plus those cherries often contain artificial colors.
Heavy syrup contains water, corn syrup and sugar, and it has the most calories of the three. A 15-1/4-ounce can of sliced peaches contains about 10 ounces of fruit and 2/3 cup of syrup, which adds about 200 calories. Light syrup is made from water and sugar.
Fruit co*cktail can be packed in natural juices, light syrups, or heavy syrups. The liquid it is packed in makes a big difference in the nutritional content of fruit co*cktail. Of course, natural juices are always best and lowest in calories.
