This was very good. I tried to keep the mystery ingredient a secret but somebody *cough-DH* let the cat out of the bag. No one could believe that it was tomato soup. My MIL has had a similar recipe for fifty years. If you want a "spice" type of cake, similar to carrot cake but much easier to make, give this one a try.
