Tomato Soup Spice Cake is a deliciously flavored spice layer cake covered in a cream cheese frosting. It’s an easy to make from scratch cake. No one will ever guess there’s a can of tomato soup in this cake. But it’s definitely up there with Sauerkraut Cake when it comes to cakes with strange ingredients.

 
Tomato Soup Spice Cake dates back to the 1940s and in 1960 it became the first recipe to appear on a soup label. A can of Campbell’s Condensed Tomato Soup is mixed with a made from scratch spice cake batter flavored with allspice, cinnamon, and cloves.

 
You may think tomato soup and cake don’t go together but they do. Tomatoes are a fruit afterall and they wonderfully complement the flavor of the cake. As a bonus, they give the cake a beautiful red hue. The cake is covered in a thick and rich cream cheese frosting that’s very sweet but also has a little tang. It goes together perfectly with all the spices in the cake.
Tomato Soup Spice Cake is an heirloom recipe worth remembering and enjoying on occasion. Plus, it’s a great conversation starter.

With all the spices in the batter, your house will smell heavenly as this cake bakes.
