BAKING TIPS:
Rising tomato soup can with water removes all the soup and you have no waste.
Folding cherries and raisins in flour helps them from falling to the bottom of the cake.
Sifting flour gives the flour a cake like mixture and its great when baking.
Baking powder and baking soda gives the cake a nice texture, no eggs needed.
