Nope. I am not making this up.
I haven’t found this recipe in any of my cookbooks yet, but many many many others have already posted their versions of the recipe online. Go look, you’ll see.
You’re still looking at me with one raised eyebrow and thinking I’m crazy. Come on, get your apron and make this cake with me. The version below is from chef Emeril Lagasse’s site.
2 cups sifted flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cloves
2 eggs OR 4 ounces egg substitute
¾ cup sugar
1 can tomato soup
½ cup chopped walnuts
******
1. Preheat your oven to 350 °F/175 °C. Grease a cake pan.
2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Put this mixture somewhere safe.
3. In another bowl, mix together the sugar, the tomato soup and the eggs or egg substitute. Find your flour mixture and slowly add the flour mixture to the tomato mixture. Stir in the walnuts.
4. Pour all of that into the cake pan and bake it for 25-30 minutes.
5. Decorate it any way you’d like to.
That’s it!

I have several old community cookbooks that have this recipe. I’ve never tried it but now your tempting me.
I love tomato soup, but I still can’t grasp this recipe – and I’ll try all sorts of food combinations. You try making it first?
