Tomato Soup Spice Cake

Recipe file created November 16, 1999.
This is my Dad's favourite. Ingredients

1 cup margarine
2 1/4cup brown sugar
1 - 9 ounce can condensed tomato soup
1 cup raisins (optional)
2 eggs
4 cup flour
2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease two cake pans. Cream margarine and gradually add sugar. Add eggs. Beat until light -- about 6 minutes. Add enough water to soup to make up to 2 cups. Set aside. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and spices. Add flour mixture alternately with tomato soup to butter and sugar mixture, starting and ending with flour (about 4 additions of flour, 3 of tomato soup). Stir in raisins. Pour into baking pans. Bake 35 to 45 minutes (or 15 to 20 minutes for cupcakes).

NOTE:

Beating the margarine / sugar mixture makes a light cake that rises well. Try it with all of your cake recipes.
Alternating flour and liquid in any cake recipe prevents the mixture from curdling.
