Tomato Soup Bundt - Day #22 of Food Librarian's I Like Big Bundts 3

Tomato Soup Bundt

I Like Big Bundts - Day #22

It was freeeeeezing in Los Angeles this weekend. Well, for us. It was in the low 50's and raining!! ;) I broke out the space heater, snuggie and booties. And a can of tomato soup. To drink? No.... to bake!

It's Day #22 of I Like Big Bundts... my effort to bring you 30 Bundts in 30 Days! I hope to inspire you to make a Bundt cake for National Bundt Day on November 15th. The Bundt deserves its own day, no? I think so! 

This recipe appears in Warren Brown's (of Cake Love) book, United Cakes of America. Each state has a cake. The Tomato Soup Cake represents New Jersey as the Campbell's company has been in Camden, NJ for 140+ years. Bea of El Rincon of Bea made it for last year's International Bundt Day (yes, it is totally an international event! :) and I was intrigued. Luckily, my library has this book so I was able to check it out... Warren Brown has lots of other recipes I can't wait to try. And thanks Bea for being the Bundt representative in Spain! She has made a bunch of Bundts on her blog - check it out!

 

Bake a bundt for National Bundt Day on November 15th! Then submit a photo or blog post by November 24, 2011 and I'll send you a 1 1/4" button for baking along with me! The submission info can be found here!

You don't taste the tomato soup, it adds moistness to the cake. You can taste the fall spices of cinnamon and cloves, and has a nice texture with the walnuts.

We're in the last few days of this marathon... I keep saying, "I can make it!" See you tomorrow for another bundt! - mary the food librarian
