TOMATO CAKE

By pbaumgartner

(Janet’s recipe)
This recipe, strangely enough, appeared in a Sunday School text when Janet was in high school. She doesn’t remember the reason for the recipe even appearing, but she was game enough to try baking it the following Sunday. Several classmates refused to try it, but although it sounds strange, the taste is really similar to a spice cake.

Ingredients

• 4 c. sifted flour
• 2 tsp. nutmeg
• 2 c. sugar
• 1 c. shortening
• 2 c. raisins
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 2 tsp. soda
• Pinch of salt
• 2 small cans tomato soup

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300° F.
Melt the butter. Sift the flour, nutmeg, sugar, cinnamon, soda and salt together. Add raisins, then add tomato soup. Finally, add the melted butter and mix together.
Bake in a greased 9 x 13" pan for one hour.
