Green Tomato Cake
Glenda
"This is a moist, spice-type cake...a good way to use some of those extra green tomatoes before frost hits. Sprinkle the finished cake with confectioners' sugar or frost with your favorite caramel or cream cheese frosting."

This cake was okay. It was alot like a spice cake, although the texture was a little unpleasant. I didn't like it enough to make it again.

No one at work guessed the green specks were tomatoes. I frosted it with a cream cheese frosting which I added cinnamon to. It was a hit!
