Fruit Cocktail Cake

Yesterday evening I experienced the best surprise in my life. My hubby gave me a gift which I have dreamt. Want to know the gift, wait till tomorrow. Now back to the recipe. I had some leftover fruit cocktail after my trifle recipe. Wanted to try a cake with that, I know it will taste great in a cake so decided to go for it. I made a simple cake and topped it with a buttery coconut sauce. Actually the cake doesn't have any fat in it so that icing is rich and buttery which really makes it.
