Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons allspice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 (10.25-ounce) can condensed tomato soup
½ cup shortening
2 large eggs
¼ cup water
Cream Cheese Frosting

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 ½ teaspoons allspice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground cloves. Whisk together to combine.
Add 1 (10.25-ounce) can condensed tomato soup and ½ cup shortening to the flour mixture and beat for 2 minutes. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Add 2 large eggs and ¼ cup water to the mixture and beat for 1-2 minutes, scraping the bowl frequently.
Pour batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake. Cool the cake completely, then frost with my homemade Cream Cheese Frosting.
