Chocolate Tomato Soup Cake
I never thought of chocolate with tomato soup until I had ran across this recipe. It is the chocolate version of the cake I posted earlier. I have tried discount and store brands of tomato soup but find that name brand soups are usually better and make the cake moist.
CHOCOLATE TOMATO SOUP CAKE
1/2 cup real butter, softened
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup water
1 can (10 3/4oz) tomato soup
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Preheat oven to 350 deg.. Grease & flour A 9"x13" pan or a bundt pan. Cream together butter & sugar. Add eggs, & beat until fluffy. Whisk together dry ingredients. Mix tomato soup and water. Add dry ingredients and soup mixture alternately to creamed mixture. Fold in nuts. Pour into pan & bake 30 min. in 9x13" pan, or 40 min. in bundt pan.
I use this cream cheese glaze on the bundt cake:
