GREEN TOMATO CAKE



Green Tomato Cake image

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.

GREEN TOMATO BREAKFAST CAKE (OR PLUM)



Green Tomato Breakfast Cake (Or Plum) image

When Marion Burros ran this simple recipe in the New York Times, it became the paper's single most requested recipe. Based on a 40-year-old recipe for plum cake that first appeared in Marion Burros and Lois Levine's The Elegant but Easy Cookbook, this cake is just as good for dessert as it is for breakfast. We substituted green tomatoes for the plums originally called for, but you can use either.

GREEN TOMATO CAKE WITH BROWN BUTTER ICING

I thought that this was an interesting use of green tomatoes. The cake is rich made as directed, but I think that it could be lightened easily.

GREEN TOMATO CAKE



Green Tomato Cake image

My mother had a lot of green tomatoes at the end of the season and I was looking for something to do with them. This sounded tempting. My 16-year-old nephew thought the cake looked good and asked what was in it. I told him to taste it then I would tell him. He tried it, liked it, then I told him. He was amazed. The original recipe called for 1 cup oil but I substituted applesauce for half the oil. The cake turned out very well. Delicious, moist, tasty.... truly wonderful cake.

GREEN TOMATO CAKE



Green Tomato Cake image

I was overrun with green tomatoes that weren't going to ripen & found this recipe on Serious Eats. It is really tasty, something different other than making chutney with them. I halved the recipe and it was the perfect size for a loaf cake.

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/3 cups vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
3 cups green tomatoes, chopped (I pureed in a food processor)

Steps:

  • For the cake, adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 325°F Lightly coat cake pans with baking spray. Line bottoms of cake pans with parchment paper rounds and coat lightly with baking spray once again.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and nutmeg in medium bowl or on large sheet of parchment paper.
  • In large bowl, beat oil and sugar on medium speed until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add tomatoes and beat just until incorporated, about 30 seconds.
  • Decrease mixer speed to low and gradually add flour mixture to green tomato mixture. Mix just until combined, scraping down sides and bottom of bowl as necessary.
  • Divide batter equally between baking pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of cakes comes out clean, 45 to 60 minutes. Transfer cakes to cooling racks and cool in pans for 15 minutes. Invert cakes directly onto racks. Peel off and discard parchment lining and cool completely, about 90 minutes.
