Cake Wants to Be Carrot, Could Be Pumpkin Can Be Tomato Soup image

My friend Laura gave me this recipe Personally, I like it with the pumpkin, but she likes it with the Tomato Soup Here is what she says about it! "I have a theory that the tomato soup/pumpkin in this cake could be substituted with any mashed vegetable product and it would still taste amazing. Try something new and let me know how it works outs! I also can't take credit for this recipe, the recipe for the frosting and pumpkin spice cake was given to me by my friend Clarissa and I just substituted the pumpkin for the tomato soup, after having tried a similar tasting "tomato soup cake" at Gator's Neo Soul Café in San Mateo (a great restaurant worth trying!"
