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.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I might try using less sugar next time.

This green tomato cake was a hit! It was moist and flavorful, with a slightly tangy aftertaste from the tomatoes. I'll definitely be making this again.
