I first had this cake made by my Kentucky mother-in-law about 60 years ago. Yes, it is an oldie-Goldie recipe. I’ve made it lots of times since then but not recently. You have planted the seed now in my brain to make it once again. Delicious cake…moist and tasty.

[@amyslouisianakitchen]

Hi Amy, I remember my Mom making the Fruit Cocktail Cake, always yummy. As I watch you I remember watching and enjoying Dianne Cage cooking show too, (so sad she died recently). You have a way of making people smile and laugh. Just good old down home women. 🌻

[@kaleemarcel1390]

It’s same batter we use for old fashioned Cajun cake recipe. We use pineapples and pecans. My grandma made it with fruit cocktails like yours recipe. She is from Hodge Jonesboro area.

☀️☀️Happy Saturday, my sweet Amy. 🥳🥳🥳Happy Birthday, Ms Linda! I hope and pray you have a very blessed day. Enjoy your Birthday Cake! Would love to meet you on Amy’s channel. 🎉🥳🎂 Amy, The cake looks very good. I think I might have had it when I was young. I had forgotten about your Amazing Grace Plate! You had it where it showed on the camera when I first found you. Seems like you had another plate as well but I may be mistaken. So beautiful. I always watch you on my iPad Pro. I hear you fine. No echo, I turn it down if it gets too loud. As you know I’m older too so it’s not my ears. Everything’s fine on this end. Just so you know. Amy, continue to pray for me. I’m so sick and even though I haven’t fallen my lumbar spine is messed up. First it went numb…totally numb….then the severe pain hit. Started Thursday of last week. So much pain it takes my breath away. Don’t mean to burden you but your old Momma V is miserable. Praying for you all as well. Love you and John Murray, the sausage frying 👑 King. 😂 💜💜🙏🏻🙏🏻😘😘

Looks delicious!!❤

[@ggbice]

Hi Amy! Oh YUM! The glaze is is a winner. Finding any canned fruit in heavy juice *not fruit or natural is sometimes so hard to find. Just this week, I found fruit cocktail in tasty heavy syrup. I'm not skimping on sweetness. My Mom always made Pig Pickling cake. It's made with canned pineapple, lots of whipped cream. Oh, she would have loved your channel, she often baked with evaporated. There is no substitute! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDA SUE........ *I just read posts regarding audio. I watch on my phone. It's loud, but not clear, sorta garbled. There's an echo in the background.

[@shannonlong4138]

I just made a pig picking cake this morning to take to a family event tomorrow. They sure are delicious!

[@ggbice]

@@shannonlong4138 Oh, I've got to plan on making it! Love Pineapple.

[@lindacake5792]

Oh, it looks delicious!!! I’ll try it! Thanks!

[@amyslouisianakitchen]

Please let me know what you think😊🧡

[@lindacake5792]

@@amyslouisianakitchen ok! I will!! 👏🏻👏🏻💛🧡

[@JPRN.]

This sounds like one of my favorite cakes, my Portuguese friend used to make , but was unable to translate the recipe. Thanks for sharing this, I’m going to try this one for the holiday’s

[@rennierad]

Happy birthday Linda Sue! ❤💕🌻 I have all the ingredients and can't wait to make this. Thank you for the recipe Amy. 👍❤💕

[@wenbren]

!! Happy Birthday to Linda Sue !!

[@debmetheral6596]

I can here you loud and clear all the way up here in Ontario Canada and I’m 74.

[@shannonlong4138]

I have never had this cake before but I sure can't wait to make it! My grandmother used to make an ambrosia cake and I'm thinking that it's going to taste about the same. I wish I had her recipe but I don't.

[@debbiereilly900]

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@maxinewrittenhouse9347]

I’ve made this and I love it I’ve made it 6 or 10 times love it thank you for sharing it with me

[@dianalester1351]

You need to either get the Phone closer to you or wear a microphone. Really, us older folks can't hear you, sweetie!

[@lisalemberis5195]

Looks yummy not "ugly" haha. I make a fruit cocktail cake also from my mom just slightly different.

[@joyce9523]

IVE NEVER TRYED IT BUT IM SURE GOING TO MAKE THIS 🤩♥️

[@amyslouisianakitchen]

Please let me know how you like it.

[@debbiereilly900]

That's what I do with my baking soda if it should expires. Either the fridge or down the drain. 💜💜💜

[@karenoengland9859]

I have one husband cook like that.

[@debraward1813]

Hey girl, the audio is very bad. You sound like you are in a barrel. Very hard to understand what you are saying. Recipe sounds great though

[@We-Fly-Soon_Sister]

I really wish that you would get some type of a microphone so I can hear you clearly I'm on older lady I got my TV turned up to number 50 and I still can't hear you very well and I don't have a hearing problem you're just so echoey get a microphone

[@amyslouisianakitchen]

Kim I'm so very sorry. I have some microphones and when I wear those everyone complains about how too loud it is. I will keep on working on it. I turned my TV up on my videos snd it is blasting loud. I would love to get other's input to see how they are hearing it.

[@rita-book]

Amy, I can hear you perfectly on my end and I DO have a hearing problem. Keep on posting! Love ya girl ♥️

[@Toby-Cooper]

I haven't tried to watch on TV but on my phone you are VERY loud. I'm elderly as well.

[@Emmylou2]

You’re loud and clear here. If I turn my iPad volume all the way up, it’s way too loud. It’s prefect at a little more than half way.

[@shannonlong4138]

Amy I hear you loud and clear on my phone. I cannot cut the volume up all the way or you would be too loud.
