Grammie Bea's Tomato Soup Cake

This old fashioned cake recipe is one that has been very popular through the years at our house! Gram used to make it a lot... DELICIOUS and moist, and though I'm not a raisin fan, I LOVED this cake. Don't forget to use Grammie Bea's Special Vanilla frosting Grammie Bea's Special Vanilla Frosting for the top of this YUMMY cake!
