Tomato Soup Cake is an old recipe in my family. We always make this cake with cream cheese frosting for birthdays. Before he passed, my grandfather would always talk about his mother making this cake. Back in the 20s and 30's when he was a boy his mother would wrap up slices of tomato soup cake in newspaper and pack them for his father to take to work. My great-grandfather was a train engineer and could be gone for several days at a time, so as this cake doesn't include milk or eggs it packed really well for the duration of the journey. Thank you for finally featuring this recipe - what a lovely trip down memory lane!
One of my ex-coworkers (now retired, in her late 60’s) used to bring this to work all the time. First time she told me about it I assumed it would taste like tomato soup but I was pleasantly surprised! I liked it to much I requested it one year for my birthday cake at work.
Paul Mab , I think this is a metaphor for life. So many things can come into our life that are unexpected or even unpleasant, but if we have faith and give things time, the result can be sweet.
Just so you know, the terms fruit and vegetable are botanically speaking completely arbitrary and the only real deciding factor is the sweetness of a fruit (most vegetables are either fruits, roots or stems)
Have been making this for years. Mom found the recipe in a Campbell’s soup cookbook. No raisins where in the recipe. Also no bunt pan. It had cream cheese icing.
The colouring on that cake, with the white and brown contrast, looks really good. Reminds me of Christmas pudding. Great video Emmy. Your awesome. Well done.
When I was in Middle School- early 1960s- in 8th/9th grade I "worked" in the cafeteria. This was when the Lunch Ladies actually cooked all the food. The SPICE CAKE was always a hit and it wasn't till end of 8th grade that I got that recipe. It was....Tomato Soup Cake!....thank you so much for the Memory and Recipe. You go, Emmy!
I'm jealous. Real food in school? Amazing. I finally went to popeyes and had my first ever chicken sandwich bc the cafeteria patties were so unappatizing. (I've been out of school for 12 years so, it's taken a while to get over the PTSD just from LOOKING at those things lol).
@@radioseal37 That's gotta be a health violation. Call the inspectors on them. They will likely resist, but if you can get enough students or parents demanding it, I think that's something minor enough that can actually change. It wouldn't hurt if parents threatened to sue either. It's enough of a fluff story you could probably get it on the local news. I...just remembered that schools are not in session. Well.. anyways, maybe when you go back. Good luck out there kiddo, we're all rooting for you.
@@rosemali3022 My Mom, who went to school in the late 50's/60's, told me tales of crazy delicious food she ate in the school cafeterias when she was young. Like, BETTER than a lot of homemade stuff she had at that time. I could not even fathom. The cafeteria food they served at my school in the 80 ' & 90's was some of the most disgusting slop I've ever seen, or tasted. Even the days they served pizza, which was supposed to be a treat, was nothing to look forward to. The soggiest crust (no crust to that crust!). Imagine adding water to a can of tomato paste, and that's what the sauce tasted like. Sprinkled over the "sauce," came a grated cheese, that I can only describe as tasting like vomit. Lastly, some cheap, for some reason always a sickly yellowish colored, plastic-like cheese. No matter how hot the pizza was, that cheese didn't pull or stretch. It didn't budge. I think I need therapy just to deal with memories of that food😱
This is my favorite cake ever. My step-dad would make it for me when I'd come home on leave. The bundt pan is what he always used. He's put nuts in his. Walnut or pecan pieces. A little glaze is nice in place of the powdered sugar, too. Rum or coffee flavored glaze are really complimentary.
Here's an easy one. One box of cake mix, one 12 ounce can of soda, fold together and bake per package time. I use a yellow cale mix and a can of natural flavored seltzer no sugar. It's great and economical. About a dollar for a cake.👍💜
@@MeliBoo4935 yes Melissa. The cake is still sweet. Seltzer with natural essence has good flavor and the cake mix has plenty enough sugar. I use a bundt pan. You can drizzle a glaze over it if you like. A really light fluffy cake results.
I like to do this with lemon cake mix and Sprite or strawberry cake mix and a good icing to make to use with it is whipped cream mixed with dry Jell-O Mix, lemon jello for the lemon cake or strawberry for the strawberry
My family actually makes a really delicious sauce with tomato soup! We, uninspiringly, call the dish "Meatballs, Carrots, and Rice." Brown beef in a deep pan, cut into chunks or rolled into meatballs. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Add in halved baby carrots, go until beef and carrots are cooks and beef has some crispy sides. Dump in a can of tomato soup, one can's worth of water and one can of milk, add soy sauce, lots of Worcestershire sauce, a splash of vinegar, and a good handful or two of brown sugar. Simmer until thick and velvety, pour over rice and eat! I like to garnish it with some dried parsley!
Love your retro music. I was born in the 50s. My mom went thru the depression so was extremely tight regarding cooking and baking. There was 7 in our family in the 50s and 60s and the woman could make a meal out of a paper towel tube. My mother n law was more food conservative than my mother. They both just blew me away. Women now have no idea what women went thru during the depression or rationing. To think we complain about things such as needing a new car or mediocre kitchen appliances. I love watching you in your kitchen when you show how women pulled a rabbit out of a hat to serve their family. Keep on keeping on, dear....
My grandpa LOVED tomato soup cake, my grandma made it a little different tho... She didn't put in the cloves, nutmeg or raisins. She did add walnuts. She would make it and send it to Grandpa while he was serving in the Navy on SS New Mexico. He said it was usually a bit stale when he got it (lol) but he ate it with a really sharp cheese when he could.
This recipe, with one can of soup as the liquid- the batter does look too dry and hard to mix. Campbell's current recipe is the same on dry ingredients, but adds 1/4 c water and 2 eggs for liquid. Maybe use applesauce as an egg sub...or more water? It does need more liquid tho, imo.
OMG this was the first cake I ever picked out and made all by myself when I was probably 10 yrs old. I just wanted to know what the heck that would taste like. And I loved it! We are kindred spirits, Emmy.
I love spice cakes! I should definitely try making this. Also, here's a tip to avoid the flour (or other powdery dry ingredient) mess. Use a spoon to fluff up your flour, lightly spoon it into your measuring cup, then level it off. It might take a bit longer, but it saves you some clean up and provides more consistent measurements. Scooping with the measuring cup packs your flour down and changes how much flour fills the cup with each successive scoop.
I made this tomato soup cake recipe that I got from a very sweet elderly lady I met at Trader Joes's. She told me that this recipe was one her Mom would make during WWI and that it was always a hit...I made it when I went to a party that was required to bring an "old fashioned" recipe...it was a Huge Hit!!! xo
I just made this, and based on some of the comments I added 1/4 cup milk and 2 eggs (which I know defeats the purpose of it being milk & egg free) and the batter was perfect. It turned out super moist and delicious and no one would ever know it has tomato soup as an ingredient. Thanks for sharing this!
Turn the CC on. 06:52. She says: "Itadakimasu" (The U is silent and ladies pronounce it as EE TADA KEE MAAS), which is what you say in Japanese before you start eating, and it roughly means: "I am receiving (this food) humbly", or "Thanks for this food". Now the CC will show you: "Eat the lucky moss"!!!
I garden, and when I have an over abundance of tomatoes I freeze them, and make chocolate cake with them ( puréed) all winter long. ( and yes I can them in all sorts of ways too )
My childhood cake ! 🥰 I'm 60. My grand-mother baked it often. In fact, I don't remember her baking another kind of cake ! Pies, yes, but not another kind of cake. I think I wrote to you about it once. I still bake it a few times a year. My grand-mother's recipe is a little different, only half a teaspoon of each spices and... two eggs. I cream the shortening and the sugar together first, then add the eggs and alternate the dry and wet ingredients after. Yet, the batter is still very thick. I usually bake it in a square pan, sometimes in a bread pan, for 50 to 60 minutes. I don't add raisins, but my grand-mother did. I am overdue for baking one... Thank you for this nice memory !
Liam Maple there I found a website of someone who copied the old paper meeting cookbooks from that time, page by page. My old computer with that site saved died, but I bet you could google it.
I'm so happy you posted this particular recipe as I've been making it for my husband for his birthday or 36 years. The recipe I have from my Mother-In-Law is from a Campbell's recipe book from the 60s but I have an earlier recipe from the 40s. In the recipe I have it suggests 2-8" cake pans and you oil and flour the pans and you bake for 40-35 min. We use cream cheese icing and it is our favorite cake. Thank you again for such a wonderful channel!
Boy this takes me back. My granny used to make this. She raised 9 kids during the Depression, and many of your hard time recipes are things I ate at her house. This cake is delicious.
This was one of my grandmother’s recipes and I e made it a few times. Tip: When you use spray on a pan, if you put it in the dishwasher any overspray will be contained, then washed away when you next run your dishwasher.
Liz S, when you spray on the non-stick spray on a pan it tends to fly around your kitchen. If you put your pan inside your dishwasher and spray it there, the spray is contained and you dint have to clean it off counters and floor.
So interesting. When I saw you put sugar and then tomato soup I was like ,,ugh, will it taste good?" I'll probably make it for my family and don't tell them this cake it's with TOMATO SOUP
1am for me, perfect timing. Thank you for being you Emmy 💐 over the years you have helped me escape my mind/outside world so often as well as learning so much. Thank you again💕😊
Oh neat, this is pretty much the applesauce cake my grandmother used to make for Christmas, just with tomato soup as a substitute. I'll have to try it out.
There was a soap opera called Passions that had a character that was made fun of behind her back because she would make tomato soup cake that nobody liked.
I was honestly just thinking of that cake the other day hoping Emily would make it. And here it is. I remember the show gave out the recipe and it had icing
My great grandmother would make tomatoe soup cookies and would omit the raisins in a few just for me. A wonderful spice cookie I still make today. This brought back some sweet sweet memories.
When my grandmother was little, she and her mom (my great-grandmother) used to make chocolate mayonnaise cake. She taught me the recipe and it actually tastes really good. I’ll admit I was skeptical at first but it turned out to be incredibly yummy!
Used to make chocolate mayo cake often when times were rough (so moist!) then found tomato soup cake which I liked too. "eggless raisin cake" - surprising what rationed style recipes bring to the table when you are hungry :)
I've been making sortedfood's tomato soup cake for years when I want to bring some cake in to 'boost office morale'. I like the carrot-cake-esque aspect of it, without having the half hour of grating carrots (and fingers) involved. It's also delicious with cream cheese frosting or nutella on top. My previous supervisor was a bit put off the first time I brought it in after he got assigned, despite being the resident cake fiend. Rest of our work group fell on it like a pack of ravenous wolves, which clued him in.
A very good cake. With cream cheese frosting. Tomato's are actually fruits so...😉 I made one out of the original Campbell's Soup Cookbook. Lots of yum in there. 40yrs+ I've had that.😀🙏🍅🍰
My mom still makes this cake all the time. When I was a park ranger in my late teens she sent one to me in the mail with the cream cheese frosting on the side and it was incredible! A sturdy cake, that's for sure.
I don't understand how these 71 people dislike this vid? Like, Emmy is so full of positivity and love like whyyy. Plus the vid was entertaining and educational
Have made tomato soup cake for years based on an old cookbook from husbands grandmother. She also had a cream cheese icing on it and its a delicious combination
My great aunt had two cake recipes with tomato soup. One was a spice cake with a cream cheese and butter glaze on it and the other was a chocolate cake with fudge frosting. Both were absolutely freaking delicious.
Hi Emmy! I just found your channel searching for this recipe. I left mine at my winter home. Originally, it called for an eight or nine inch square pan. I usually double the recipe and make it with walnuts, bake in a 13 x 9 inch pan, and frost it with browned butter icing. The walnuts and/or raisins should be stirred in after you mix the other ingredients. I also just use half the cloves! My husband bought me a new stove, and requested that this be the first thing I make. There is another version, made with a spice cake mix. It’s quicker, but not as good. Thank you so much. Sharon.
I've always wondered what Emmy says before taking a bite. I think it's いただきまーす (anyone feel free to correct!) which means "Let's eat!" As if these videos couldn't get more wholesome
I made my first tomato soup cake back in the 70s when I was a teenager I used a can of tomato soup and a spice cake mix. No raisins! I used a cream cheese frosting also.
I just made this according to your recipe, except I used a cupcake case lined muffin tin. The quantities here make exactly the right amount of batter for twelve if you use a level ice-cream scoop for each one. (I always use a scoop making cupcakes and muffins - it's ideal for the perfect amount!) Oh and I didn't have icing sugar so I sprinkled the tops with demerara sugar before baking for about 14 minutes in a moderate oven. Absolutely delicious! And you're right, it's amazing, you don't taste the soup at all. Bravo!
I just had to make this yesterday. It was my day off from work, I had all the ingredients already in the house, save the shortening, that I just replaced with vegan butter. So simple, turned out very yummy😚 Thank you!
I'm so grateful for your channel especially this week. I just had surgery on my stomach yesterday and watching you ALWAYS cheers me up. You always have the best content and so much to watch too. Thank you 🙏
This is my mother's favorite kind of cake she used to make them with her own mother before she passed, one day I'd like to make it with my neice and teach her about our family history. Love your videos hope you're having a wonderful day.
My MIL used a 9 X13 pan and I have used it also. I added nuts to the batter before putting it in the pan. It is a favorite of my husband. Also good with a cream cheese frosting.
It's fun to see how recipes travel. We have a copy of this recipe in a 1950s French-Canadian recipe book. It was my dad's number 1 cake. It doesn't taste like tomato soup but more like a spice cake, it's really nice! You can have a contest with your guest... guess the secret ingredient!!!
My best friends Mom used to make this for us when we were kids in the 60s. It was terrific with cream cheese frosting! I just managed to find her recipe recently.
This one is the stuff of legends where I'm from. I should make it some day. My speedy treat from a similar generation is boxed cake mix (spice or Devils food is best) and a can of pumpkin. Mix, scoop out cookies, bake 350 until done. Quick, cakey, great with milk or coffee.
My mom used to make this all the time when I was a kid (I'm 50 now). She used to add nutmeats and top with cream cheese frosting. It wasn't too bad. I absolutely HATE raisins, so that's saying a lot that I liked it. I had honestly forgotten about it until now. She also used to make potato chip cookies. I probably have the recipe somewhere, but no idea where. She passed away 26 years ago so I can't ask her. If I ever run across it, I'll send you the recipe. It was a good way to use up stale potato chips (plain of course).
1:02 So, I grew up in the military, my dad was air force in Canada from the mid 70's to early 2000's. My mom had a very similar recipe book that was also compiled by the women on Canadian bases. I think it may be a military wives thing, makes plenty of sense when you think about it too
This is similar to a recipe in the WWII editions of 'The Joy of Cooking' by Irma S. Rombauer, which was *the* cookbook for US brides from the mid-1930s through the 1950s, and popular even to this day. I remember it from my mother's copy, a 1946 printing. As you say, the condensed soup was intended to offset the required quantity of rationed ingredients and keeps the cake moist, much like dessert quick breads that use various grated summer squashes.
This recipe was originally on Campbell's Tomato soup can. It did my include the raisins but r did include water. When first introduced it was suggested to use a cream cheese frosting but in the mid fifties it exaggerated to use a peanut butter butterflies frosting.
This was my father's favorite birthday cake and we enjoyed it on his special day throughout the decades beginning in the 1960s. My mother also made it for their wedding anniversary each year. It is still a family favorite!
My mom used to make tomato soup cake all the time. But it was fluffy with eggs and all that... lots of spices. Closer to your ketchup cake! It was so good.
This has been a staple in our household for decades....we love it! One year I added half a cup each of chopped pecans, dates and candied ginger to the raisins .....and voila.....Christmas cake!
There was a Soap Opera called " Passions" on NBC in the early to mid 2000s. One of the characters " Grace" made this cake often and it was a running gag.

Cant any cake be stored at room temperature? Unless it has cream cheese frosting or something. But this was a very sweet story

It is absolutely baffling how many things you can put in a cake and the resulting cake being NOTHING like what you expect.

My family actually makes a really delicious sauce with tomato soup! We, uninspiringly, call the dish "Meatballs, Carrots, and Rice."
Brown beef in a deep pan, cut into chunks or rolled into meatballs. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.

I bet there’s less soup in a can than there was in the 50’s. That’s how they keep from raising the price. They just shrink the portions.
we have cans like she showed, single serving, and bigger cans ~2 servings.
I'll assume Back In The Day there wasn't a big market for single servings?
Michelle Renee It’s a lot sweeter, too.
Michelle Renee , I agree. It tasted different then too.
i do know that box of cake mix is about 4 ounces less than it was in the 80's

Liz S, when you spray on the non-stick spray on a pan it tends to fly around your kitchen. If you put your pan inside your dishwasher and spray it there, the spray is contained and you dint have to clean it off counters and floor.
Wow this is so helpful!! Thank you!
That only works if your not storing your clean dishes there...😁
I thought the original post was somehow explaining how I can make baking pans safe to wash in the dishwasher 😂
My grandmother and my mom used to make this and I have always loved it! I have made it a few times as an adult and it's still so good! ❤️
So, can we make a grilled cheese with this?
So interesting. When I saw you put sugar and then tomato soup I was like ,,ugh, will it taste good?" I'll probably make it for my family and don't tell them this cake it's with TOMATO SOUP
That worked out for me the last Thanksgiving. All they knew was it was a spice cake, similar to carrot cake
My favourite cake ever that my Canadian Mom made in the 50/60's...so nice, moist and spiced! So yummy!!
This was a classic for my Mom and Grandmom! Thank you for sharing Emmy 💓
Yay I've suggested this to you for years🥰
I hope she commended u for the idea
No Eggs, No Butter, No Milk and no 2 minute commercial. Thank you I also like the little surprise at the end of your videos. :)
1am for me, perfect timing. Thank you for being you Emmy 💐 over the years you have helped me escape my mind/outside world so often as well as learning so much. Thank you again💕😊
My grandma always made this cake for every occasion. Birthdays, thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, you name it. All of us grandkids HATED it hahaha.
Oh neat, this is pretty much the applesauce cake my grandmother used to make for Christmas, just with tomato soup as a substitute. I'll have to try it out.
There was a soap opera called Passions that had a character that was made fun of behind her back because she would make tomato soup cake that nobody liked.
I was honestly just thinking of that cake the other day hoping Emily would make it. And here it is. I remember the show gave out the recipe and it had icing
That soap is the only reason I know of the existence of this cake. Back then I thought it was a made up thing.

Same here! I’ll never forget the tomato soup cake and the monkey nurse
I used to make this kind of cake all the time.
It's hilarious how good it comes out.
My great grandmother would make tomatoe soup cookies and would omit the raisins in a few just for me. A wonderful spice cookie I still make today. This brought back some sweet sweet memories.
When my grandmother was little, she and her mom (my great-grandmother) used to make chocolate mayonnaise cake. She taught me the recipe and it actually tastes really good. I’ll admit I was skeptical at first but it turned out to be incredibly yummy!
Used to make chocolate mayo cake often when times were rough (so moist!) then found tomato soup cake which I liked too. "eggless raisin cake" - surprising what rationed style recipes bring to the table when you are hungry :)
I've been making sortedfood's tomato soup cake for years when I want to bring some cake in to 'boost office morale'. I like the carrot-cake-esque aspect of it, without having the half hour of grating carrots (and fingers) involved. It's also delicious with cream cheese frosting or nutella on top.
My previous supervisor was a bit put off the first time I brought it in after he got assigned, despite being the resident cake fiend. Rest of our work group fell on it like a pack of ravenous wolves, which clued him in.
Congratulations on using this cake to let your former boss know where they stood. I approve! 😂🥰
Thank you Emmy for finally making this recipe!! It's an old tradition in my family. Yay!!!
A very good cake. With cream cheese frosting. Tomato's are actually fruits so...😉 I made one out of the original Campbell's Soup Cookbook. Lots of yum in there. 40yrs+ I've had that.😀🙏🍅🍰
My mom still makes this cake all the time. When I was a park ranger in my late teens she sent one to me in the mail with the cream cheese frosting on the side and it was incredible! A sturdy cake, that's for sure.
Love your videos, but the best part is how well you describe the flavor, texture, and finish of the different recipes. Keep it up Emmy! 👍🏼
I’ve made this cake many times. It helps to mix everything except the raisins first and then fold in the raisins. Thanks for sharing this.
I don't understand how these 71 people dislike this vid? Like, Emmy is so full of positivity and love like whyyy. Plus the vid was entertaining and educational
watching emmy throws me back to when i was like, 10. cant believe she still makes videos.
Reminds me of “Thunder Cake.” When my kids were little they loved the book and the cake.
Can’t wait to try this.
Have made tomato soup cake for years based on an old cookbook from husbands grandmother. She also had a cream cheese icing on it and its a delicious combination
My great aunt had two cake recipes with tomato soup. One was a spice cake with a cream cheese and butter glaze on it and the other was a chocolate cake with fudge frosting. Both were absolutely freaking delicious.
Hi Emmy! I just found your channel searching for this recipe. I left mine at my winter home. Originally, it called for an eight or nine inch square pan. I usually double the recipe and make it with walnuts, bake in a 13 x 9 inch pan, and frost it with browned butter icing. The walnuts and/or raisins should be stirred in after you mix the other ingredients. I also just use half the cloves! My husband bought me a new stove, and requested that this be the first thing I make.
There is another version, made with a spice cake mix. It’s quicker, but not as good. Thank you so much. Sharon.
Grace on the soap opera Passions made it all the time.
I've always wondered what Emmy says before taking a bite. I think it's いただきまーす (anyone feel free to correct!) which means "Let's eat!" As if these videos couldn't get more wholesome
I made my first tomato soup cake back in the 70s when I was a teenager I used a can of tomato soup and a spice cake mix. No raisins! I used a cream cheese frosting also.
Emmy’s videos go up right before I go to bed, so watching them is the perfect nighttime routine 👌 Wholesome content, as always !!
I just made this according to your recipe, except I used a cupcake case lined muffin tin. The quantities here make exactly the right amount of batter for twelve if you use a level ice-cream scoop for each one. (I always use a scoop making cupcakes and muffins - it's ideal for the perfect amount!) Oh and I didn't have icing sugar so I sprinkled the tops with demerara sugar before baking for about 14 minutes in a moderate oven.
Absolutely delicious! And you're right, it's amazing, you don't taste the soup at all.
Bravo!
I just had to make this yesterday. It was my day off from work, I had all the ingredients already in the house, save the shortening, that I just replaced with vegan butter. So simple, turned out very yummy😚 Thank you!
Everytime Emmy uploads a video I’m like “wtf she making now” lmao I love it
I love spice cakes like these, they're so rich and tasty!
I'm so grateful for your channel especially this week. I just had surgery on my stomach yesterday and watching you ALWAYS cheers me up. You always have the best content and so much to watch too. Thank you 🙏
This is my mother's favorite kind of cake she used to make them with her own mother before she passed, one day I'd like to make it with my neice and teach her about our family history. Love your videos hope you're having a wonderful day.
Tomato Soup Cake has always been a favorite in my family. We add chocolate chips to ours - and sometimes cream cheese frosting.
I vote Emmy says “boop” every time an ingredient is added.
Emmy, you’re so close to 2m! Well deserved in my humble opinion 🥰
My MIL used a 9 X13 pan and I have used it also. I added nuts to the batter before putting it in the pan. It is a favorite of my husband. Also good with a cream cheese frosting.
My grandmother used to make this cake. It was my grandfather’s favorite cake 🥰
This is great. I've tried cake made with tomato soup, and one with cream corn. Both we're amazing!
I love your channel.
Wonder who the first person was who said, "I think I'll add a can of tomato soup to my cake ingredients."????
Probably someone dealing with rations with a good understanding of cooking chemistry
Maybe a test kitchen run by Campbell's?
@Just Me Do you post your recipes anywhere?
Probably someone who didn’t have much to work with but tomatoes and the powders...🤷♀️ we’ll never know...
Yvonne Corsini, didn't you watch the video? 😁😉
It's fun to see how recipes travel. We have a copy of this recipe in a 1950s French-Canadian recipe book. It was my dad's number 1 cake. It doesn't taste like tomato soup but more like a spice cake, it's really nice! You can have a contest with your guest... guess the secret ingredient!!!
I LOVE how Emmy finds/shares such interesting recipes!!!
Emmys almost at 2million subscribers!!!! How exciting!!
I think this would be awesome cake for any vegan! Thanks for sharing and much love from Montana. ✨💖✨
My best friends Mom used to make this for us when we were kids in the 60s. It was terrific with cream cheese frosting! I just managed to find her recipe recently.
Your videos always bring me joy and make me feel somehow safe LYSM!!❤️❤️❤️
I have 0 plans to make ANY of these retro videos but I love her videos so I must watch all of them
This one is the stuff of legends where I'm from. I should make it some day. My speedy treat from a similar generation is boxed cake mix (spice or Devils food is best) and a can of pumpkin. Mix, scoop out cookies, bake 350 until done. Quick, cakey, great with milk or coffee.
My mom used to make this all the time when I was a kid (I'm 50 now). She used to add nutmeats and top with cream cheese frosting. It wasn't too bad. I absolutely HATE raisins, so that's saying a lot that I liked it. I had honestly forgotten about it until now. She also used to make potato chip cookies. I probably have the recipe somewhere, but no idea where. She passed away 26 years ago so I can't ask her. If I ever run across it, I'll send you the recipe. It was a good way to use up stale potato chips (plain of course).
1:02 So, I grew up in the military, my dad was air force in Canada from the mid 70's to early 2000's. My mom had a very similar recipe book that was also compiled by the women on Canadian bases. I think it may be a military wives thing, makes plenty of sense when you think about it too
Thank you! I've been searching for this recipe! My Mom made this in the 1960's.
Emmy never ceases to amaze me
Yum. That looks SO good. Will definitely try it.
You can also add chopped walnuts to this cake. We usually covered it with confectioners sugar frosting.
Love this recipe. I made it often when my children were home.👍🏼🤗
This is similar to a recipe in the WWII editions of 'The Joy of Cooking' by Irma S. Rombauer, which was *the* cookbook for US brides from the mid-1930s through the 1950s, and popular even to this day. I remember it from my mother's copy, a 1946 printing. As you say, the condensed soup was intended to offset the required quantity of rationed ingredients and keeps the cake moist, much like dessert quick breads that use various grated summer squashes.
Just what I needed today more -v-e-g-g-i-e-s- fruit added to my diet
Inw27. TfsTwucft.
It is even VEGAN!! NO butter, no milk, no eggs!!! (maybe there are non-vegan ingredients in the soup I don't know off)
This recipe was originally on Campbell's Tomato soup can. It did my include the raisins but r did include water. When first introduced it was suggested to use a cream cheese frosting but in the mid fifties it exaggerated to use a peanut butter butterflies frosting.
This was my father's favorite birthday cake and we enjoyed it on his special day throughout the decades beginning in the 1960s. My mother also made it for their wedding anniversary each year. It is still a family favorite!
My mom used to make tomato soup cake all the time. But it was fluffy with eggs and all that... lots of spices. Closer to your ketchup cake! It was so good.
This has been a staple in our household for decades....we love it! One year I added half a cup each of chopped pecans, dates and candied ginger to the raisins .....and voila.....Christmas cake!
I love these retro recipes
I have had this! What a blast form the past.
There was a Soap Opera called " Passions" on NBC in the early to mid 2000s. One of the characters " Grace" made this cake often and it was a running gag.
YES! Scrolled through the comments to see if anyone else would remember this. They even had a product placement deal with Campbell's for a while lol!
