GREEN TOMATO CAKE
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 CASSEROLE
I love the tangy taste of fried green tomatoes, but they are, well...fried! And messy to make. I developed this recipe to help assuage my hunger for fried green tomatoes, and yes, it does the job quite well. Without all the grease and batter, the tangy taste of the tomato can really shine through!

Tips:
- Use firm, slightly underripe green tomatoes. Overripe tomatoes will make the cake too mushy.
- Grate the tomatoes on the large holes of a box grater. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cake batter.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Over baking will make the cake dry.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
- Make the brown butter frosting ahead of time. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Conclusion:
Green tomato cake with brown butter icing is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a slightly tangy taste from the tomatoes. The brown butter icing is rich and creamy, with a nutty flavor that complements the cake perfectly. If you are looking for a new and exciting dessert to try, green tomato cake with brown butter icing is a great option.
