Frosting

Combine sugar, eggs, fruit cocktail, baking soda and flour. Mix well. The batter will be thick.
Spread the batter in the bottom of a prepared 9x13 baking dish/pan.

When the cake comes out of the oven, combine the frosting ingredients (except for coconut) in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in coconut. Spread over top of the cake immediately.
