Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sift the first four ingredients into a large bowl. Add the egg, fruit cocktail, and vanilla and mix well. Pour into an 8x12-inch buttered and floured cake pan. Mix the brown sugar, butter, and walnuts together, then sprinkle over the top of the cake batter. Bake until the cake starts to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool. Serve from the pan.
