I’ve always wanted to make Truvy’s “Cuppa Cuppa Cake” from Steel Magnolias. So last night I did. Yum! This definitely won’t win any awards for culinary innovation…but it’s a nice dose of warm comfort food. (Note that in the photo, I have doubled the recipe. Next time, I’ll just do a single batch.)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 8-inch square baking dish with butter.
Stir together flour, sugar, and fruit cocktail with juice until just combined.
Pour into buttered pan and bake until warm and bubbly.
Serve warm with unsweetened whipped cream.

I rate it five mitts for how yummy a very easy recipe it is. I used pears instead. I think it would be good with any fruit.
This was just ok for my family. I really wanted to like it because it was so simple to make with few ingredients, but it is not something I will make again.

My favorite movie in the world. I tried the cake yesterday – had to – and it was a perfect little dessert with whipped cream. For me, 1 cup of sugar was too much so I used 3/4 cups of suguar and it was pefect for my picky brood. Thanks for my new quickie desert.

I just watched this movie the other day for like the 1, 000th time in my life and I was suddenly struck with the idea to make this cake!! I was about to post it on my blog, when I found that you had the movie recipe! Woo hoo!

As a huge Steel Magnolias fan myself, I love that you recreated this cake. Did you serve with ice cream?
