Green Tomato Cake

Green Tomato Cake

Diana Rattray
This spiced green tomato cake is surprisingly delicious, and it's a great way to use green tomatoes before the frost gets them.

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil or melted shortening
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup pecans or walnuts
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 2 1/2 cups diced green tomatoes
  • coconut (optional)

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°. In mixing bowl, beat sugar, vegetable oil or shortening, eggs and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg; slowly beat into egg mixture. Blend well. Stir in pecans, raisins and tomatoes.
Pour into greased 9x13-inch pan. Top with coconut if desired. Bake for one hour, or until a wooden pick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. .
Serves 12.

Wonderful!October 19, 2009By msaunt
"I used up some small, green, costoluto genovese and various cherry tomatoes for this cake. Some had a little color which looks interesting in the cake. I also used craisins because that's what was on hand. I served it with a little whipped cream on top and it was a hit. Very very moist. I had some tasteless yellow cherry tomatoes that I dumped that might have been made use of in a cake like this. They would have added some pretty color."
