I've had the one with the canned fruit cocktail and for the life of me I can't remember the exact steps or what it's called (fruit cocktail cake?). I'm a lot of help, aren't I?

Then there's the old recipe from the 60's-70's called a 'poke cake.' Holes are poked into a 9 x 13 prepared cake with the handle of a wooden spoon. Prepared Jell-O, flavor of your choice, is poured over the cake and refrigerated until the Jell-O is set. Frost with Dream Whip or if you're brave, Cool Whip.
