Cake Roulette

I love the taste of this cake, but the bakeability - is not so reliable. The last three times I've made it (which spans about as many years), it's fallen in the center. So baking it is like playing a game of high stakes Roulette. To keep it interesting, you could place wagers for chores or favors.

Fallen centers aside, this cake tastes divine.

Fruit Cocktail Cake
Assemble the following:
1/2 C melted butter
1 - 17 oz. can fruit cocktail
1 1/2 C sugar
1/2 C brown sugar
2 eggs
2 C Flour
Dash salt
1 tsp vanilla
2 scant tsp baking soda

Melt the butter

Drain the fruit cocktail

and blend/puree it

Add it to the melted butter

Add the white sugar

Add the brown sugar,

2 eggs and a

dash of salt.

And baking soda

Don't forget the vanilla

Blend for 2 minutes on medium speed

Now for the icing -

3/4 C sugar,

a dash of salt,

Don't forget 1/2 tsp vanilla. Heat this up and take out about 1/2 c of the liquid

If you make this and it turns out beautiful as well as tasting sinfully delicious, let me know.
