TOMATO SOUP SPICE CAKE



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.

MUM'S SPECIAL SPICE CAKE



Mum's Special Spice Cake image

Mum made these every year. TRUE! HINT: The longer you leave it, the better it tastes too! She's had MANY requests for this recipe over the years, yes! Want to know why? If you try it, you won't have to guess! UPDATES!!!!! I made 4 of them yesterday and found I lowered to oven temperature to about 165 degrees Celsius; they each took about 55 minutes to cook! The cake is done when a skewer comes out clean, but you don't want to be opening and closing the oven door a lot. ALSO: While Mum's directions indicated GREASE WELL, it does not mean A LOT, just that the surface is covered with lard and then lightly floured. I was also wondering if a sugar icing was not on it but I can't remember and can no longer ask Mum as she has now passed away! :) Hope this helps someone!

Tips:

  • To achieve a moist and flavorful cake, use ripe and juicy tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a great choice due to their low moisture content, which prevents the cake from becoming too soggy.
  • To enhance the tomato flavor, roast the tomatoes before incorporating them into the cake batter. Roasting intensifies the sweetness of the tomatoes and brings out their natural umami.
  • For a tender and fluffy cake, cream the butter and sugar together until light and airy. This step incorporates air into the batter, which helps the cake rise and results in a delicate crumb.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This prevents the batter from curdling and ensures that the eggs are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together before adding them to the batter. Sifting aerates the dry ingredients and prevents lumps from forming, resulting in a smooth and even batter.
  • Fold in the roasted tomatoes and chopped walnuts gently to avoid overmixing the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This ensures that the cake bakes evenly and prevents the center from remaining uncooked.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. This allows the flavors to develop and the cake to set properly.

Conclusion:

With its vibrant color, moist texture, and unique blend of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors, this Very Special Tomato Spice Cake is sure to be a hit at any gathering. The combination of roasted tomatoes, warm spices, and walnuts creates a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. Whether you're serving it as a dessert or a teatime snack, this cake is sure to leave a lasting impression. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary adventure that will delight your senses and satisfy your sweet cravings.
