Spray the bottom and sides of your cake pan with nonstick spray. Pour the cake flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Sift the ingredients together three times. (We love this charming direction from the original recipe, and sifting does ensure that everything is blended and smooth. This is how to sift if you don't have a sifter.) Place the softened butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Blend them together on medium-high speed for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides once. Add in the egg. Blend the mixture for about 5 minutes on medium-high speed until it's light in color with lots of air incorporated. Pour about half of the dry mixture into the bowl and run the mixer on low speed for just a few seconds. Then pour in the whole can of tomato soup and run the mixer for a few seconds more. Pour in the remaining dry ingredients and blend at low speed just until all of the dry ingredients are mixed in. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Use a rubber spatula to spread it into the corners and even out the top. Place the pan in your hot oven, and bake the cake for 35 to 40 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with just a crumb or two. Place the pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, carefully remove the cake from the pan. Allow it to cool completely. You can frost the cake if you want-I used a simple buttercream with a little cinnamon added in. A cream cheese frosting would also be a great choice, or the cake can also be simply dusted with confectioners' sugar. Store leftover cake covered tightly at room temperature for up to 5 days.
