    tomato soup cake

    When I was young, my mom used to make this tomato soup cake for dessert. The funny thing is, my Mom used to tell me and my younger brother that it was a “spice cake”. She did this because there was no way we would eat anything with tomatoes in it.

    The funny thing is this cake does indeed taste like a spice cake. If I recall correctly, it wasn't until I was an adult that she confessed and told me that it was a tomato soup cake and not a spice cake.

    Personally, I like this cake recipe with raisins, but I have some family members that don't like raisins so on some occasions I leave them out. Don't you hate it when raisins get stuck together in a big clump? To unstick the raisins, wet your hands with a little water then work the raisins apart.

    You can also substitute the raisins with chopped dates. No matter what you decide, this tomato soup cake is absolutely delicious!!

    I prefer to eat this tomato soup cake without frosting, but if you prefer yours with frosting I recommend either a buttercream frosting or my cream cheese frosting.

    My mom recently reminded me that when we were young, we used to eat this cake with a dollop of whipped cream instead of frosting. Sounds yummy to me!

      When I saw this recipe I wondered who would put tomato soup in a cake recipe. So after making it I realized it was the best cake that I had made in a long time. Very moist and very delicious. It is more like a spice cake than anything.
