Tomato-Soup Cake
Here is a variation from Ronney Nadile of Lunenburg, Massachusetts; her mother-in-law came across it in the 1950s. Ronney says it’s “moist and delicious and tastes like spice cake.”

1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 can condensed tomato soup

1 cup chopped walnuts

Sift flour, baking powder, and spices together; add to mixture. Stir in raisins and nuts.
Pour into a prepared angel-food cake pan with high sides. Bake 40-50 minutes.
