1 ½ cup sugar

2 cups flour

2 eggs

2 tsp. baking soda

2 cups (approx.) fruit cocktail (do NOT drain)

Mix all ingredients and pour into greased 9 x 13 pan.  The batter will be very dense.  Sprinkle with ½ cup brown sugar.  Bake at 350 degrees 40-50 minutes.  Top with boiled frosting as SOON as you pull it from oven (both frosting and cake must be piping hot)

¾ cup sugar

1 cube butter or margarine

2/3 cup evaporated milk

1 tsp. vanilla

Melt butter in small saucepan, add sugar and milk.  Bring to boil, boil hard for 2 minutes.  Stir in vanilla.  Pour over cake immediately.
