Tomato Soup Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Cultural Context

Tomato Soup Cake is a unique American dessert that emerged during the Great Depression, when resourcefulness in the kitchen was essential. The use of tomato soup in a cake may seem unusual, but it adds moisture and a subtle tanginess that complements the spices. This cake is often enjoyed at potlucks and family gatherings, showcasing the creativity of home bakers. Today, variations abound, with many adding nuts or dried fruits, making it a nostalgic treat for many.

1

Start by placing a whole can of condensed tomato soup into a bowl.

2

Stir in 1 teaspoon of baking soda and set the mixture aside.

3

In another bowl, add 1/2 cup of butter and mix in 1 cup of sugar until blended.

4

Add 2 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

5

Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

6

Add the puffed up tomato soup mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and mix well.

7

In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of allspice.

8

Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, ensuring no streaks of flour remain.

9

Pour the batter into a greased baking dish or cake pan.

10

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes.

11

Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean after 25 minutes.

To make the frosting, mix together butter and cream cheese, then beat in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
