Spontaneous {ital CP} violation in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with a gauge singlet and a cubic superpotential is examined. Although the tree-level Higgs potential conserves {ital CP}, it is shown that with the inclusion of the one-loop top-quark radiative effects {ital CP} may be broken spontaneously. The {ital CP}-violating minimum requires two neutral ({ital h}{sub 1},{ital h}{sub 2}) and one charged ({ital H}{sup {plus_minus}}) Higgs boson to be relatively light with {ital m}{sub {ital h}1}+{ital m}{sub {ital h}2}{approx_lt}100 GeV and {ital m}{sub {ital H}}{sup {plus_minus}}{approx_lt}110 GeV. The electric dipole moment of the electron is in the observable range of (1/3 to 3){times}10{sup {minus}27}{ital e} cm.
