To commemorate the 29th anniversary of the death (February 22, 1987) of Andy Warhol and pay tribute to his Campbell’s Soup Cans: Team Trillkins’ Campbell’s Tomato Soup Cake.





Made a 1 layer 9 inch cake and 1 cake in a 10 ¾ can:

2 cups all purpose flour

2 eggs

1 cup granulated sugar

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 ½ teaspoon allspice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground cloves

½ cup Crisco (or use butter instead)

¼ cup water

1 can (10 ¾) of Campbell’s Condensed Tomato Soup (yes, tomato soup)

Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease the cake pan and a clean tomato soup can (once you have poured out its contents). Stir all dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Add the shortening, eggs, water, and tomato soup. Beat with electric mixer on low-medium speed until blended. Increase speed to high and beat some more. Pour the batter to fill the can halfway, then pour the rest into the 9 inch cake pan. Bake for 40 minutes, then let cool for at least 20 minutes on a wire rack.









There was a slight blowout from the can during the baking process, so put it on sheet tray just in case.





Had the labels customized and printed at a local FedEx Office, then cut along the gold borders running horizontally to fit the can.





For the cream cheese frosting (had to make more than is pictured above):

12 ounces cream cheese

4 tablespoons milk

3 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ½ cups of powdered sugar

Beat the cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until pretty much blended. Add in powdered sugar in 3 increments until fully blended. Let it sit out until ready to use.









A piping bag was used to frost this cake because no one here knows how to do it with a spatula.





Here it is in all of its glory and surprisingly very good: Tomato Soup Cake in a Can. In hindsight, all of the batter could have been poured into multiple soup cans and presented accordingly. But it was the freaking weekend baby and no one here had time for that.
