Tomato Soup Spice Cake image

It sounds like a joke on paper, but this cake is the definition of "trust the process." A can of tomato soup somehow adds a ton of moisture and vanishes into the background while a trio of warm spices-cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves-take the lead. This recipe started from Depression Era necessity with the soup providing the richness and structure, usually coming from eggs. It hit peak popularity in the 1950s and beyond, becoming a staple of home cooking for generations. With a list of common pantry items, a lightning-fast assembly and the perfect balance of flavor, it'll quickly become your go-to cake.
