This is one of those old time favorites that came out of Momma's kitchen, and just the name of the recipe takes me back to another time. This is such a delicious & sweet down home cake that I remember so well.

2 cup self rising flour (or 2 cups flour plus 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt)

In a separate bowl slightly beat the eggs and add the fruit cocktail, stirring well.
Combine the wet with the dry ingredients mixing well, then pour into a greased and floured 9x13 baking pan.
(Optional: Sprinkle 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup walnuts over the batter before baking.)
Bake 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.
Cool slightly in pan while making topping.
