Tomato Soup Cake

This is another Passions recipe which had been the butt of many jokes on the series. Grace was married to Sam Bennett and supposed to be the perfect housewife and mother who ran a bed and breakfast. Whenever there was any event, she would show up with her famous Tomato Soup cake. This long running gag prompted many inquiries on how one made such a cake. This is the recipe for Grace's Tomato Soup cake.

2 cups flour
1 cups sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoons allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 can (10 ounces) condensed tomato soup
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Measure dry ingredients into large bowl. Add soup and butter and beat at low speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs and milk. Beat until well blended, scraping sides of the bowl as needed. Pour into pans and bake 35-40 minutes. Let stand in pans 10 minutes then turn out onto rack to cool. Frost with cream cheese frosting.
