Ingredients:
- 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed tomato soup
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: cream cheese frosting or savory cream cheese spread for topping
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed tomato soup, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- Mix the batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
