John Whaite won the third series of the Great British Bake Off in 2012 with his impressive baking skills, including how to make the perfect chocolate sponge cake. While eggs, flour, sugar and butter are the staple ingredients required for a traditional recipe, tomato soup is another baking staple used by the GBBO star. And it’s guaranteed to give you a “sweeter”, “super rich” flavour.<\/p>\n
The baker-turned-Strictly Come Dancing star revealed the secret ingredient while appearing on Steph McGovern\u2019s Packed Lunch.<\/p>\n
While demonstrating how to make the layered sponge cake, he noted that he uses tomato soup as the secret ingredient.<\/p>\n
John said: “It\u2019s a chocolate fudge cake with tomato soup, I know it sounds [weird], but it\u2019s amazing. This is my invention, but I didn\u2019t invent the idea. It\u2019s from 1950s America. The tomato soup just makes it so fudgy and sweet as well. It sweetens it that little bit more.”<\/p>\n
And the team at Heinz have shared their own twist on this unique recipe.<\/p>\n
