Tomato Soup Cake

My husband took a tomato soup cake to work today.  I think the name of it was initially met with disgust.   It's alway interesting watching people fall in love with it after they are brave enough to get past the name.  Definitely one of my favorite recipes from my childhood.  There were lots of requests for the recipe so I thought I would post it.

My mother would use walnuts but since I am now allergic, I don't use nuts at all.

I double the batch and bake it in a jelly roll pan.

Carmel Butter Nut Icing 

1 cup brown sugar 

1/2 cup margarine/butter

1/3 cup milk

2 - 4 cups icing sugar

1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Heat Butter, brown sugar and milk in sauce pan. 

Boil 3 mins. Cool 30 mins. 

Slowly add icing sugar until desired consistency. (beat until smooth)
