Tomato Soup Spice Cake
This mystery cake is based on a classic retro 1950s recipe, using a whole can of condensed tomato soup in it. You can't taste the soup, just a delicious moist and fluffy spice layer cake.

Whatcha Do:
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.
- Stir the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, allspice, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves in a large bowl. Add the soup, shortening, eggs and water. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed just until blended. Increase the speed to high and beat for 4 minutes. Pour the batter into the pan.
