Notes

Drain your fruit cocktail to remove the excess liquid. Too much liquid will make the cake batter too thin.

Be sure to use the spray or grease the pan well to make serving the cake easier.

Let your dump cake cool completely before cutting and serving. This ensures it holds its shape when served.

For serving, it's great all on its own but even better with ice cream or whipped cream on top.
