Tomato-Soup Red Spice Cake

This is sooooo gross sounding, but delicious. My grandmother used to make this for me when I was little and when I asked her what was in it, I almost died when she said Tomato soup. But, as grotuesqe as it sounds, it really is quite delicious. It is important to not prepare the soup as according to the cans directions, just use it right out of the can.
