tomato soup cake
I made the tomato soup mystery cake from that cooking tiktok a couple of months ago...
It’s actually good. Absolutely recommended.
It’s kind of a cross between a brownie and gingerbread and a carrot cake and the recipe calls it “magic” and it kind of is because how the fuck do you get there from these ingredients I DON’T EVEN KNOW
...but you do.
I tracked down the version I’m pretty sure he was using and there’s this moment in the video as it's baking where he says it smells like... I forget but it was bad... and I had that happen too!
Turns out that’s how you know it’s almost but not quite done.
No really. It smells honestly pretty good for like the first 40 minutes in the oven and then the smell turns on you, right? And you’re all “oh gods what did I do.”
It’s some reaction happening, I have no idea what. But then the smell turns again and that’s when it passes the toothpick test. Then I let it go like five more minutes because it just felt like it needed it, and then I took it out and yum.
So yeah. If you've been thinking about making this? Give it a punt. It's awfully good. You might like it.

Of course, there's no cocoa at all in this version, which is part of the mystery.
