Baked Sunday Mornings: Tomato Soup Cupcakes with Mascarpone Frosting

October 12, 2013 by susanelester 10 Comments

Just delicious!

This week’s Baked Sunday Mornings challenge is for Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars but I chose to make up a missed recipe instead.  At the risk of sounding un-American, I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin.  I wonder if it comes from growing up in Italy where pumpkin isn’t as common as it is in the States.  I usually make pumpkin bread once a year, and I’m good.

These are the cupcakes we tasted at the Yellow Leaf Cupcake Co.
Tomato Soup in the back and Pancakes ‘N Bacon in front – YUM!

I missed making the Tomato Soup Cupcakes with Mascarpone Frosting because the group made them before I joined.  I’ve lived in several states but have by-passed the midwest where Tomato Soup Cake has its origins.  Not only had I never had it, I’d never even heard of it.  While we were in Seattle for the International Food Bloggers’ Conference, we went on the Gourmet Seattle Food & Cultural Tour which started at the Yellow Leaf Cupcake Co. with a Tomato Soup Cupcake!  It was just delicious.  So, I decided to try these at home, and they’re amazing!  The warm spices and lightly sweet frosting make these perfect for fall.

I made these cupcakes for my friend Karen’s birthday and will be sure to bake them again, soon!

Happy Birthday, Karen!

Seattle Billboard – gotta love it!

    How fun Susan! I’ve heard of these but never knew anyone who had tried them. Now I do and it sounds like they may need to be on my to-do list!

    Susan, wait until Betsy reads this Post (which I am sending to her right now). We started at the Yellow Leaf Cupcake Co. on Sunday just like you and John did on Monday. This tomato soup spice cupcake was my favorite sweet thing on the tour (besides being with Betsy, of course). We both vowed to make them and I have googled some recipes but I will use yours. I had never heard of them before that tour although it sounds like a midwestern thing. Be sure to post this on the IFBC log.

    I’ve heard of tomato soup cake but I’ve never tried it myself. Love the mascarpone frosting!

    Oh, Susan! You reminded me that this recipe has been on my make-it list for a long time. I must remedy that situation!

    Tomato soup cake was a standard when I was growing up. I still make it from time to time – such great nostalgia and warm thoughts of my mother. I love pumpkin, too, but the smell of the spices in the TSC just make me so happy… ~ David

    Tomato soup cake, huh. I’ve heard of it, but never tried it.
    Love the billboard – I think I may even have pointed that one out to someone while we were wandering around Seattle 🙂

    I’ve been intrigued by this recipe, and now I need to make it after yours and Mary’s reviews! I wonder if I get a similar tomato soup here…
