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.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the cake mix, the (undrained) can of fruit co*cktail and sprite together. Combine well.

Put the batter into a greased spring form pan. After filling the pan, place it on a baking sheet in the oven in case some of the batter leaks.

Serve with a dollop of whipped topping/whipping cream or ice cream would be excellent as well!
