Tomato Soup Cupcake

August 14, 2014 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 19 Comments

Oh yes, you read that right— Tomato Soup Cupcake. Some of you maybe familiar with this retro cupcake, but if you are like me, by that I mean: Asian, obsessive about all the wrong things, born in the 70’s with main-stream cultural reference points starting in the 90’s (so I’m a late bloomer in this area, my parents were strict), these might be totally novel to you.

Tomato Soup Cupcake ~ Tomato Soup Cupcake ~ A retro cupcake that that'll surprise with its sweetness and tender crumb.

Okay, you can be minus all that and still have it be novel to you. And if they are, you have to admit your curiousity is peaked.

Mine certainly was when The Kitchn asked me to develop a recipe for this retro dessert. You know me, I love a good challenge. Aside from that I was so curious.

Hit the jump here to find the surprising result and to see how that iconic can of soup produces a deliciously sweet and tender cupcake.

    I grew up in the 70’s and haven’t ever heard of a tomato soup cupcake. Now I’m definitely curious about the taste… Campbell’s tomato soup was my favorite growing up though, so I’m going to have to try these.

    I’ve heard of this cake but never seen it..of course trust you to make it look so good I could eat ten!

    So cool! I also grew up in the 70’s, but these cupcakes were not a part of my childhood. I did however consume a very large number of Swanson’s Chicken Pot Pies and TV Dinners!
    My husband’s mom made mac and cheese with canned tomato soup. Sounds kind of disgusting, I know, but actually it is quite delicious and very easy! 1 pound cooked macaroni noodles, 1 pound grated cheddar and 2 cans tomato soup. Mix together, top with buttered breadcrumbs and bake for 30 minutes.

    You nailed it – I’m completely curious and adore the retro image you created. I haven’t heard of this before and now I have to try it. Plus, who doesn’t love a spice cup cake with cream cheese frosting. The recipe looks pretty simple too!

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumna Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumnal picnics? To kickstart the season, the kids and I are headed to the park to enjoy an Apple Spiced Cake and warm sips of Apple Cider sweetened with our favorite pantry staple, @truvia. #ad

Truvia Sweet Complete Sweeteners are zero-calorie and made with plant-based stevia sweetness. Whether you are using the All-Purpose, Brown, or Confectioners Sweetener, they measure cup-for-cup like sugar in your favorite seasonal baked goods! 

Apple Spiced Cake 
Serves 12 

3 cups (14 oz.) self-rising flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs
1 cup (6.25 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener 
1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In a second large bowl, add the eggs, and beat until combined. Add both the Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose and Brown Sweeteners, whisk until fully incorporated. Pour in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, whisk until combined. 

Fold dry ingredients into the wet until smooth. Add the grated apples and fold until just combined. 

Pour batter in prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out free of wet batter. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool in the bundt pan for 20 minutes. Unmold cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, dust with Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener. Enjoy outside with a seasonal beverage!
