Ingredients

The Cake

Cream Cheese Frosting

Instructions

  • First, grate the nutmeg and sift the AP flour into a large bowl. I had to post this photo of the nutmeg being grated because the aroma is one of my favorite smells in the whole wide world!
  • Add the spices, salt, and baking soda to the flour and whisk to combine.
  • In another large bowl, combine the soft butter and the sugar. Beat at high speed with an electric mixture until light and fluffy.
  • Reduce the speed of the mixer to low and add the flour to the sugar mix alternating with the condensed tomato soup.
  • Stir in the chopped pecans and the raisins. The batter will be stiff.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. I wet the back of a large spoon and used it to smooth the top.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack while you make the frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Place the cream cheese, soft butter and vanilla in a medium bowl. Beat until smooth, using an electric mixer. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Use to frost the cake after it has cooled completely.

Oh....if there is a recipe from your own past that you have lost, tell me about it and I'll see what I can do to bring back your memories.
