This is a fun dessert to pull on your family. Who can resist a chocolate cake but what will their reaction be when they find out one of the ingredients? Besides being a fun joke, it is a tasty cake, too!
Chocolate Tomato Soup Cake
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 can tomato soup
1 cup chopped nuts, your choice
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Vegetable oil spray a 9"x13" pan.
Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well. Whisk together dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Mix the tomato soup and vanilla with the water.
Add dry ingredients and soup mixture alternately to creamed mixture. Fold in the nuts. Spread in the prepared baking pan and bake for approximately 30 minutes our until the top springs back when lightly touched.
Ideas . . .
Sift powdered sugar over the cake once it has cooled.
A lemon or orange icing wouldn't go amiss and would compliment the tang of the chocolate/tomato ingredients.
A plain, vanilla buttercream frosting always goes will with chocolate cake.
