Preheat the oven to 350℉.

Lightly grease a 10 inch square baking dish.

Combine tomato soup and baking soda in a bowl; set aside. It will puff a bit.

Beat sugar, butter a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.

Add eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Add vanilla and mix until combined.

Mix in the tomato soup mixture.

Sift the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice and salt into the butter mixture.

Using a spoon, mix until there are no more streaks of flour.

Pour cake batter into prepared baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While cake is baking, prepare frosting. Add cream cheese and butter to a medium bowl and mix with electric mixer until combined.

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix until smooth.

When cake has finished baking, allow it to cool fully before frosting.

My Notes

Whether it's a recipe tweak or an inspiration burst — jot it down here.

Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Bring eggs, butter, and cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to ensure smooth, lump-free batter and better moisture retention in the finished cake.
Don't Overmix the Tomato Soup 🥣
Gently fold in the condensed tomato soup at the very end to avoid overworking the batter, which preserves the tender crumb structure and prevents a dense cake.
Toast Your Spices First ✨
Lightly toast the allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to the dry ingredients to intensify their warm, complex flavors.
Use Cream Cheese Frosting Properly 🧈
Keep cream cheese and butter cold until mixing, then beat together until fluffy for 2-3 minutes to achieve a light, spreadable frosting that won't slide off the cake layers.
Cool Completely Before Frosting 🧊
Allow the cake layers to cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for 30 minutes before frosting to prevent the filling from melting and sliding between layers.
