I was really intrigued when I came across this spice cake recipe as it is called a mystery too which is due to the fact that in the ingredients there is tomato soup .. sound different I know but it works .. it is fun to ask your guests who you make this cake for what the mystery ingredient is and they will never guess
So why not have a go at making this cake and see what you think …
