Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1 unit large egg
• 0.5 cup optional: raisins or chopped nuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan or a 9-inch round cake pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat together the softened butter, condensed tomato soup, and egg until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

If using raisins or chopped nuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting or sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
