Tomato Soup Cake

I think I might try this with the spiced box mix and use the last five ingredients though. If I do I will let you know what happens. I bake the cakes for our old ladies birthday luncheons and will get opinions there!!!

I've been making this for years, but always baked it in a bundt pan and never frosted it. Don't be put off by the odd color of the batter from the soup, the cake is absolutely delicious.

So this tomato soup cake is from a few decades ago. That may explain the use of tomato soup. During that era, people had to be creative for a lot of reasons. Sounds like it had great reviews and I just may have to give this ole' recipe a try.

I am probably one of the few people that do not like tomato soup or whole tomatoes. I can not explain why, just one of those things. However, my family loves them. This would not be one of those recipes I would bake on a regular basis, but for the sake of trying it just to see what tomato soup tastes like in a cake, I think I will give it a go.

I remember this cake from my childhood , but it had a touch of cloves in it and raisins were put in between the layers the raisins were plumped up first just pour about 1/2 cup of boiling water over 2/3 cup of raisins let sit a few minutes then drain and cool .. This is such a good cake!

As a child of the 50's and 60's I grew up learning to make this cake, what wonderful memories it brings back. I can't wait to make it with my 12 year old granddaughter.

This is the 2nd recipe in a row I've looked at where someone is complaining about the amount of sugar. If you don't want to use that much sugar DON'T USE THAT MUCH!! Mr. Food has an Everyday Diabetic site that has the kind of recipes you would like. Yeah, right.
