Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can condensed tomato soup (10.75-ounce can)
- 0.5 cups water
- 0.5 cups golden raisins (optional)
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or an 8x8-inch square baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
In the sugar mixture, add the condensed tomato soup and water. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as it can make the cake dense.
If using, fold in the golden raisins and chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve as-is, or dust the top with powdered sugar for a slight touch of sweetness. Enjoy!
