Here's a recipe for a nice, light, and moist cake for dessert. It doesn't have a name because I didn't find it in a cookbook.
1 box white cake mix
1 can fruit of your choice - pears, peaches, fruit cocktail, whatever
Powdered sugar
Open the can of fruit and drain the juice into a measuring cup. Substitute the juice for the water called for in the cake mix. If there isn't enough juice to equal the amount called for, add water to that level. Mix the fruit in your food processor until there are small chunks. Follow the ingredients called for on your cake box substituting the fruit juice for the water and add the ingredients to the mix and beat. Then add half the amount of fruit to the cake mix, blending it in until the fruit is incorporated. Pour into a sheetcake pan that has been sprayed and bake by the temperature and time on the box. Just before the cake is done, place the fruit in a skillet, add a little water (2 T) and then sift powdered sugar into the mix as it's being heated. You don't want it thick - you still want it pretty thin. When the cake is done, remove from the oven, poke holes in it with your meat thermometer and pour the glaze over the cake. At this point, you don't need anything else but if you want it to be fancy, place a layer of Cool Whip over the top of the glaze. The cake will be very moist and wonderful. I serve it all the time, varying the fruit I use. My group's favorite is with pears.

I make a lot of cakes I always use cake mix Duncan is the best but whatever brand you buy always put a teaspoon of vanilla cake flavoring in it as for the icing take it out of the tub into a bowl add a teaspoon of vanilla and whip with a mixer you can add nuts to the mix or the icing but make sure that they are finely chopped you can also add coconut to the finished cake how about a coconut almond cake they will think you bought it at the bakery

The best box cake I've found is Duncan Hines. Use applesauce in place of the oil for optimum moistness!
