I made the changes (added vanilla to cake, added more chopped nuts) which others had suggested. Very good flavor, moist! Thanks for this recipe!

This has potential. Far to much butter in the "glaze" topping. Far too much baking soda in cake batter. This cake would be much better without the topping. Just thinly iced with a cream cheese icing. Or a thin glaze over the top if you bake this in a bundt pan.

Very similar to my "family" recipe. Quick to mix together & get in the pan. Didn't use the nuts, but added a few handsful of crushed cornflakes to the topping. Hubby loved it & we will take some to the neighbor's tonight-I know she's going to ask for the recipe!

My mom used to make this when I was a kid. It is soooo good. I call it ugly cake because it is not an attractive cake what so ever, but 1 bite and you are in ooey, gooey heaven! My husband turned his nose up at it when I told him the name and he saw it. He even said "what the heck is that thing" But he did try it and he LOVED it! (he is not even a coconut fan...) We had friends over and he could not stop telling them about how good this cake was! (of couse making them taste it too)I only wish it was better for the waist line! Oh well, better get back to running, because, I refuse to give this cake up;O) Thanks for this recipe, just like Mom used to make.

This has to be the easiest recipe to follow and the best cake we have ever eaten! I added extra coconut and nuts because I can not get enough of those ingredients. The topping is just as wonderful as the cake. A very old fashioned flavor. Love it!

Much too sweet!! To make less sweet,forget the brown sugar/nut combination. Doesn't need it Also, definately cook the sugar, butter, milk combination until it thickens. Then add the coconut. The nuts can then be folded at this time into this topping.

THIS IS PRETTY GOOD.THE CAKE IS JUST A 4 STAR TASTE(FRUIT DISAPEARED) BUT THE TOPPING IS A 5 STAR TASTE.NEXT TIME I MAKE ANY CAKE I WILL ICE IT WITH THIS COCONUT ICING.IT WOULD BE GREAT ON A SPICE CAKE OR A WHITE CAKE.

By far the best fruit cocktail I have had! Even better than what I remember as a child at grandma's house. A friend tried it, saying that she wasn't much of a coconut fan. She loved it so much that instead of just a taste had a whole piece!

Turned out fantastic! I cooked the cake in a 9x9 inch pan, and made 6 cupcakes out of the rest. Topping was great, and the neighbors loved the cupcakes, while we snarfed the cake~ Thanks for sharing!

My girlfriend had given me a fruit cocktail recipe a few months back but it just wasn't coming out right whenever I baked it. I decided to search the site and saw this recipe. I baked it on Christmas day, this cake is SLAMMING. When my husband keeps going back for more you know its good. I bake an extra one and took it to work and it was gone in no time. Very, very good. I will definitely keep this one and throw out the one my girlfriend gave me. Thanks

This is a GREAT cake. I made a few modifications. I added a teaspoon of vanilla to the "cake". I didn't have evaporated milk for the topping so I used sweetened condensed milk and omitted the sugar. It was fabulous--my family loved it. Definitely a "keeper".
