Baking a Weird 1950's Recipe, Tomato Soup Cake!
Recipe Information
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.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray the bottom and sides of a cake pan with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, baking powder, and salt.
In another mixing bowl, combine softened butter and sugar, blending together on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes.
Add 1 egg to the butter and sugar mixture and blend for about 5 minutes until fluffy.
Gradually add half of the dry mixture into the wet mixture while running the mixer on low speed for a few seconds.
Pour the entire can of Campbell's tomato soup into the mixture and blend for a few seconds more.
Turn the remaining dry ingredients into the bowl and blend at low speed just until combined.
Stir in raisins if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Once baked, let the cake cool before flipping it out of the pan.
Optionally, dust with confectioners' sugar or top with cream cheese frosting before serving.
