Fruit Cocktail Cake

At my church, each family takes turns cleaning the church and bringing snacks for our time of fellowship between Sunday school and the worship service. It was my turn last week, so I made a fruit cocktail cake, and it was a hit. Here's the recipe:

Fruit Cocktail Cake
2 eggs
1 3/4 cup of sugar
2 cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of soda
1 teaspoon of vanilla
one 16 ounce can of fruit cocktail (not drained)

Mix ingredients and pour in a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup brown sugar over batter. (It would be good with nuts sprinkled on it, too, or mixed in the batter, maybe a half cup.) Bake at 325ºF. for 40 minutes.

Topping:
2/3 cup of cream
1/4 pound of margarine (I used butter, NOT margarine.)
1 cup of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

Boil topping ingredients for 3-4 minutes. Cut cake while warm and pour topping over cake.
