>From Carol H (and congrats on the anniversary, Carol!):
I received this recipe from a college friend's mother in 1970  when I was a
student at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.  She called it Quick Lunchbox
Cake.  In 1970, I graduated from college and married the man I will celebrate
45 yrs.  of marriage with on July 2.  We live in Lakeland, Florida--Carol H

Quick Lunchbox Cake
2 1/4 C. flour
2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
1 C firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1/4 C. soft butter
1 pound can fruit cocktail, undrained 1/2 C. semi-sweet chocolate pieces
1/2 C. chopped nuts

Grease and flour (today we would use Pam) bottom of 13 x 9 inch pan. Combine
all ingredients except fruit cocktail, chocolate pieces and nuts in a large
mixer bowl.  Blend well at lowest speed; beat 2 min.  at medium speed.  Stir
in fruitcocktail.  Pour batter into pan.  Sprinkle with chocolate pieces and
nuts.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.
