Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 10 3/4-ounce can condensed tomato soup
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1 cup raisins
Confectioners sugar, optional
Cooking-oil spray for greasing pan
8 ounces cream cheese, chilled
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups confectioners sugar, sifted
Grated lemon or orange zest, ground
cinnamon or any liqueur to taste, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar on high speed until well-combined, 3 to 5 minutes. On low speed, beat in the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the tomato soup in 2 parts. Fold in the nuts and raisins. Spread the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack.
  • If you choose to make the frosting, combine the cream cheese, butter, vanilla and sugar in the bowl of a mixer and mix until just smooth and creamy. If the frosting is too stiff, beat for a few seconds longer, being careful not to overbeat it. If you choose, stir in the zest, cinnamon or liqueur.
  • To serve, remove the cake from the pan and either sprinkle with powdered sugar or cover with the frosting.
