Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 10.75 ounces condensed tomato soup (unseasoned and undiluted)
- 0.5 cup butter, melted
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or two 8-inch round cake pans. Lightly dust the pan(s) with flour and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the condensed tomato soup, melted butter, water, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and evenly incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined; do not overmix.
Transfer the batter into the prepared pan(s), spreading it evenly.
Place the pan(s) in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan(s) for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a simple finish or frost with your favorite frosting if desired.
Slice and serve your moist and chocolatey tomato soup cake. Enjoy!
