  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk (amount divided in recipe steps below)
  • 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell’s® Condensed Tomato Soup
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package (16 ounces) confectioners' sugar

  • Step 1
    Heat the oven to 350°F. While the oven is heating, whisk the flour, baking powder, allspice, cinnamon and cloves in a large bowl.
  • Step 2
    Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until the mixture is creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating just until mixed after each addition. Add 1/4 cup milk and the soup, beating until well blended. Add the flour mixture and beat on low just until well blended.
  • Prepare a cake pan or line 24 muffin-pan cups with paper liners. Divide the batter among the cups.
  • Step 3
    Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the pans on wire racks for 20 minutes.
  • Step 4
    While the cupcakes are cooling, beat the remaining 1/4 cup milk, cream cheese and vanilla in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is creamy. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar until the frosting is the desired consistency (you can add a bit more milk if needed). Frost the cake or cupcakes with the frosting. Sprinkle with grated orange zest, if desired.
