Tomatoe Soup Cake...
#3
I have a WWII recipe from my friend Mona's mother, who is now 91:
Cream together:
1/2 c Crisco
1 cup sugar
Dissolve 1/2 tsp baking soda into 1 can condensed tomato soup (This is messy- I do it in a small bowl, because it grows)
Mix together dry ingredients:
1 3/4 c flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg.
Mix everything together, add in chopped nuts and or raisins as desired.
I bake this in a well greased tube pan one hour at 350.
It's excellent! It was designed when butter, eggs and milk were in short supply.

Thanks for the recipe and the history...
I had thought this is what this might be for, when there were rations.
How clever!!!
I want to make one of these and will let you all know how it turns out...

I see someone already came up with the recipie. This was a family favorite when I was a little girl. My mother "hid" the tomato soup can until we were hooked on it! :roll:
She made it in a tube pan and used cream cheese frosting. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

this is my hubby's favorite cake in the world--his mom used to make it for him during WW2. it never cools off enough to get frosting, here--he just dives in when it's fresh out of the oven. it makes the whole house smell like heaven!
