I love this cake! I have made it for work a couple of times, and also baked it for my inlaws. To add a bit of an extra 'kick' and 'glamorize' it I poked a few holes in it while it was cooling and poured a tad of Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum and allowed it to soak in. Once cool, I layered it up and filled and coated it with Cream Cheese Frosting, Brown Decorative Sugar Crystals and Pecans. Delicious!

This was such a great cake. I made a few revisions-- 1 cup of sugar was enough, used egg whites, and instead of shortening I used 4 tablespoons each sunflower oil and applesauce. Spiced it with 1 t cinnamon, and 1/4 t each ground clove and allspice. Used 1/2 cup diced walnuts instead of raisins, and frosted half with chocolate frosting and the other half with vanilla, it was a winner! I'd definitely make this again, I was always curious to try tomato soup cake and I think I'll stick with this recipe from now on!
