The spices in this cake are amazing!

It’s a homemade spice cake, but the tomato soup adds a deep rich flavor and a delicious moist texture. Then top it off with a homemade brown sugar cream cheese frosting!

You can certainly use walnuts in this cake or simply leave the nuts out if you don’t like them. I’m sure you could use a different brand of tomato soup if you like, but being that this was a recipe on the Campbell’s tomato soup can, I always use Campbell’s soup.

Handy tip: This frosting recipe will frost the entire cake. As you can see from the photos, we only frosted the layers of this cake so it would show the dark color of the cake.
