 No kidding checkout this recipe! 

My friend and Author Cathy McDavid is sharing a family favorite 

This was a family favorite my late mom made every year for my grandfather’s birthday and during the holidays (she’d decorate it with green and red sprinkles). And before you say, yuck, tomato soup, give this recipe a try. It’s way better than you think.

Tomato Soup Cake Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Prepare two 9-inch round cake pans or one Bundt pan with ‘baking’ cooking spray, or butter and flour.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until done. A wooden skewer comes out clean when done. Test with a toothpick or wooden screwer in the very center of the cake.

1/2 Cup softened butter or shortening

2 Large eggs

1 1/4 Cup sugar

2 Cups all-purpose flour or 2 1/4 cups cake flour

4 Teaspoons baking powder

1 Teaspoon Baking soda

1 1/2 Teaspoon ground allspice

1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 Teaspoon ground cloves

1 Can condensed tomato soup (10 3/4 ounces)

1/4 Cup water

1/2 Cup raisins-optional

1/2 Cup walnuts-optional

Cream butter or shortening with the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar and beat until sugar begins to dissolve.

Measure the dry ingredients including the spices into a separate bowl. Fluff with whisk to mix.

Alternate the dry ingredients with the soup and water into the butter/egg/sugar mix. Mix just until incorporated.

Fold in nuts and raisins if using.

Evenly divide the batter into two prepared baking pans and spread evenly or pour into Bundt pan.

Bake

. Cool for 10 minutes before removing the cake to wire racks.

Frost with cream cheese or buttercream frosting.
