Tomato Soup Cake

This tomato soup cake may sound strange, but you’ll be surprised how delicious it actually tastes. I was skeptical when I first saw this recipe on my feed, so I just scrolled past it. But I couldn’t stop thinking about it for the past week, so I decided to make it last weekend. I tried this recipe by emmymade on YouTube and was so impressed with the flavors. No, it’s not tomatoey at all!

Another weird thing about this recipe is that it only has one wet ingredient – tomato soup. You don’t need butter, eggs, or milk for this recipe. How cool is that? I was a bit worried that the cake would become too dry after baking because of how thick the cake batter was, but it turned out better than I expected. Give this classic recipe a try!
