A co-worker from a hundred years ago would make the fruit cocktail cake and
it was sooooooooooo good! I don't remember how she prepared it but it was
so moist than I accidently dropped a piece and it splattered everywhere.
Yep, that's moist alright!

A friend's mother would make the dump cakes and if I remember correctly she
would use canned pie filling and some sort of pudding. The only part I
liked was the pudding and the cake. I don't remember any fresh fruit except
with the occasional addition of strawberries she's sliced and added sugar to
them to make them syrupy.

I had a coworker who made a fruit cocktail cake. It was a dump cake but
hers had nuts and coconut in it.
