very heavy cake. Not hard to tell it is a depression era recipe. I liked the spices to give it some other taste other than tomato soup. I like it, but my husband refuses to eat it.

Funny, My husband could hardly wait for me to make this cake. He said his great grandmother used to make it all the time. It is one of his favorites.
