This tomato soup cake with icing glaze recipe sounds odd but it’s the most delicious loaf cake ever, resembling carrot cake.

There’s nothing like baking on a dreary, rainy day and with our Vancouver weather of rain, rain and more rain, I was excited to get creative with my baking.
Today I’m sharing my grandmother’s moist tomato soup cake with icing glaze recipe. I know, tomato soup cake?! Really?? It sounds odd but trust me, it’s soooo delicious!
I recently received this Breville Smart Oven Air and wanted to see how good it was for baking. Sometimes I don’t want to wait for the oven to heat up to cook one thing (and waste energy) and was intrigued when I heard that the Smart Oven Air can bake among many other things. I hadn’t had a toaster oven for a few years now, they couldn’t have changed them much, could they?
Toaster ovens have definitely changed! It’s large enough to cook almost anything (even a turkey!) and comes with an assortment of different trays. The glass even shows at what level to put the tray in at.
The large dials are foolproof and so easy to use. You set your temperature and how long to cook it for or use one of the pre-settings and it automatically shuts off when the timer is done. No more burnt food!
It was so easy to bake this tasty tomato soup cake in a loaf pan. I could easy have added it to 9×13″ cake pan if I wanted to.
Here are a few highlights that I love about the Breville Smart Oven Air:
- The Super Convection technology moves higher volumes of air to effectively air-fry, slow cook, roast, dehydrate and even proof dough.
- Saves on energy and speeds up your cooking cycle by 30 per cent.
- The large capacity can accommodate your everyday cookware, including 12-cup muffin tray, or Dutch oven.
- The air fry mode is my favorite where you can place hash browns or french fries on the air fry basket and they ‘fry’ potatoes perfectly.
- The bottom tray comes out completely to wash out all the crumbs.
- Super efficient when cooking food from frozen, such as frozen pizza (and it comes with a pizza pan).
- Dehydrates food, slow cooks food and reheats food perfectly.
I’ve never been so impressed with an appliance before and I’m in love with the Smart Oven Air. I’ve heard that people have just this in their kitchen, no stove or oven. Wouldn’t it be perfect for a basement suite, cottage or cabin?
Please enjoy my grandmother’s tomato soup cake with icing glaze. It’s the most delicious, moist cake you’ll have.
This old-fashioned cake uses a can of tomato soup, hence its name, but it’s the most delicious, moist cake you’ll ever taste!

- 1 cup icing sugar (confectioner’s sugar)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1-2 tbsp milk
-
Mix the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
-
Add the egg and soup and mix well.
-
Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Add raisins.
-
Grease a loaf pan with wax paper and butter and lightly dust with flour. Pour mixture into loaf pan.
-
Bake at 350 deg F for 1 hour.

Soften butter and add icing sugar (confectioner’s sugar).

Add vanilla and milk until a bit runny and spread on warm cake.

This is a very timely post as my current toaster oven just stopped working. Will definitely consider the Smart Oven Air.
Hmm… new one for me. Tomato soup in cake? But I bet it’s delicious 🙂 I’d love one of these ovens. Would probably start with some sort of dessert!
Now that I am an empty nester, I think this would be a great addition for all of my one-pan-dinners for 1 – Moi! My Nana had a similar recipe for tomato soup cake but used chopped walnuts instead of raisins. (We hated cooked raisins when we were kids)
Just in time for my book club. I’m sure they’ll love your grandmother’s tomato soup cake.
Thank you for the opportunity to win a Breville Smart Oven. It would be perfect for the boat. Others on the dock would be so jealous. 😉
I just came back from the Breville site. You can roast a turkey in this smart oven. I’m impressed!
My dear Mother used to cook a tomato soup cake and now I will try it. Wonderful memories of her. I also would love to win that magical cooker. Thanks for the opportunity.
Your Tomato Soup Cake sounds delicious. So delicious, in fact, that I’m making it for a dinner for friends on Saturday night!
I would be delighted to win that gorgeous Breville Smart Oven. I could say bye-bye to my small apartment oven that’s not much bigger and an electricity hog!
I need one of these!! Thanks so much for the giveaway and the recipe sounds really interesting!
And more than likely, chicken nuggets would probably be what would be cooked in here the most! 😉

Oh my goodness! Your recipe has brought so many wonderful memories back to me!
My Mom used to make this all the time when we were kids. I am definitely going to make this for my sisters for a trip down memory lane.
My sister has used one of these for several years and loves it. Her kitchen is unusually hot in our summers (hard to believe right now with all this cold and rain) and she uses this small but efficient oven to cook almost everything.
This Breville smart air oven looks amazing! It makes sense to use rather than heating up your big oven. I love the dry fry option! I was so excited to see your tomato soup cake recipe
I have to admit I was having fun teasing you about the tomato cake, but dang! It is sooo tasty! You can make it again anytime hun!
Also I should comment on how awesome that Breville oven is. The kids loved the french fries from it, hash brown patties turn out awesome and the homemade pizza! I was so skeptical, but now it feels essential.
Great post!
Looking forward to trying the cake. Thanks for sharing and for the giveaway.
Cool recipe and the oven looks amazing. I’m addicted to small appliances and would love to add it to my collection (and rub it in my friends’ faces about what an awesome oven I have).
IM not a big cook but much husband is. If cooking and baking is this easy in this then I need it.
Thank Jamie
Bought my mom one for Christmas and she loves hers-keeps telling me I need to get one!
Air frying those sweet potato fries that my kids love will be a breeze on this Breville oven and it even saves me money because it reduces the cooking time.
I have the Breville tea steeper. It’s wonderful, and I bet this oven is too. My grandmother made tomato soup cake too, so I’ll definitely try this recipe. I’m intrigued by how much this oven can do, so I hope I win it!
Thank you for the opportunity to win one of these Breville toaster ovens. They look amazing and so versatile. I love the idea of cooking and baking in a more energy efficient way. This would be perfect for the kitchen in my new downsized house. So many online contests are for U.S. citizens only. Go Canada 🇨🇦
Finally!!!! a contest for us poor old Canadians and a Breville oven to boot. It has so many features. thank you. 🙂 You have actually tempted me to try a tomato soup cake.. I’ll let you know what i think, thank you.
Thank you for the opportunity for a giveaway in Canada!! I would do all the baking and try to find a spot for it at the cottage!
This seriously looks amazing! Both the cake and the oven. 😉
That cake looks so good, and I would have never guessed that you could cook it in a little oven like that!
So two things.
1. I cannot believe that cake has tomato soup in it – never heard of something like that before, but I’m going to try it now.
2. That little toaster oven is legit!! Who knew they could do all those things now AND look good while doing it?!
This would be beyond brilliant to have for the holidays! We couldn’t fit a double oven in our kitchen makeover, so it’s always tight for family dinners. Imagine being able to cook some of the holiday foods in this oven! And, it would be great for our busy weeknights to cook things like frozen pizza or broil stuff for the kids. What an awesome appliance!
Breville ovens are wonderful! Lucky winner will be very happy.
I visited, wow a turkey would be fun to cook!
What wouldn’t I cook in this oven. I am an avid baker but don’t always like having to heat up the whole house when whipping up a coffee cake or some muffins. This oven would be such a great asset for smaller baking batches. Also, when entertaining, it would give me a whole other oven to cook veggie casserole while the roast cooks.
I can’t believe the wide range of food that can be cooked in this oven from what I saw on the Breville website–amazing. I don’t think I would ever use my conventional oven again. The first thing I would bake in it is Blueberry Boy bait cake–a perennial cottage favorite. I would love to win this oven–thanks for the opportunity for a chance to win.
I visited the site and wow, this oven would be amazing! I can’t wait to try the tomato soup cake. My Mom used to make a tomato soup cake and it was delicious, I had forgotten about it.
I totally LOVE my Breville toaster oven and rarely use my full size oven anymore.
My husband calls me the gadget lady…who does not like appliances that make someones life easier. I like that it is compact and sits on a counter. Better for my back for my personal health reasons.
It does everything, cooks, airfry, dehydrates too!!! Amazing
Your grandmother recipe looks interesting and i can not wait to try it. I never met a recipe i did not like, looks so yummie.
Thank you for sharing this recipe, the awesome appliance and a chance to win it.
I remember tomato soup cake! I had a recipe once upon a time but haven’t made it recently, so it’s not on my computer. (Where are those old recipe cards of mine?)
Thanks for the inspiration. I’ll be sure to make some soon.
I visited Breville’s site and was excited by what I read. I would bake every kind of bread under the sun, and roast chicken. Thank you for offering this opportunity!
I can hardly believe you can fit a 14 pound turkey in that toaster oven! Amazing. I bet a pizza baked in that oven would be really good. And it’s great for doing loaf cakes, because you wouldn’t have to heat up your big oven. I would love to win this oven!
I visited Breville Canada’s site and I would love to win this toaster oven. I would bake my blueberry muffins in it first.
Wow! I can’t believe someone else knows of and bakes Tomato Soup Cake! My Mom made it all the time when I was growing up. She put a chocolate frosting on it, homemade, of course. It is so good! Now I am going to have to get her recipe out and make it!
Thanks!
Cathy
Just checked out the Berville website and WOW! I’m in love with that powerful little oven. It does everything and I would love to cook just about everything in it too. Love all the special features it has and its sooo good looking.
Cooking/baking is a passion of mine, it’s one of the things our family has always done to welcome friends and other family and show them just how much they mean to us.
Your Grandmothers Tomato Soup Cake has me intrigued and looks so yummy. I have all the ingredients in my pantry right now, so guess what I will be making first thing tomorrow morning…yup! Your Tomato Soup Cake.
Thank you to you and Berville for giving us all a chance to win such an amazing giveaway.
Just went to the Breville site, sounds amazing and would love to win one. I use my toaster oven quite a bit but this would be so much better I would hardly have to use my regular oven. Tomato cake sounds interesting, will definitely have to try it.
