Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the tomato soup, water, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and homogenous.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in their pans for 10 minutes. Then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost with your favorite chocolate or cream cheese frosting, slice, and enjoy this unique dessert!
