Uh oh didn't mean to hit submit right away!
I like my cake to be like cake, otherwise call it something else. I love zucchini (even like spaghetti) tomatoes and carrots just not in a cake.
And while I'm on a rant lol
Even though I qualify and am a member - the AARP is full full full of people who are never going to retire so why don't they change the name to make it more inviting! I resisted (temporarily) joining for just that reason - refuse to think I'm in that category even though my mirror and driver's license say otherwise!
Can you tell I'm originally an advertising person - I don't like mis-representation! Wink wink!

What THE HECK is green tomato cake? It sounds like a lie parents at to get kids to eat veggies.

What Jinkies said...........
Hobbists here, also if I want the height but do not need so much cake, I will use a foam core, to get the height I need. So if i make a 10", I will sit that on a foam core round same size, 2"- 3" in height. There's a Vegetales Cake in my gallery, the bottom is foam core.
I like this idea!!! what kind of foam core do you use? Is this a pre-made round or something you buy in a sheet and cut to your preferred size?
You can buy ready made but I get the sheets at the dollar store. They are a pain to cut, but it works and its cheap. In a pinch, I have used cake boards, stacked to the height I need, covered in saran wrap and then cover in fondant. I buy the cake boards in bulk, when those are all finished, I think I will get foam core in bulk. These tall beauties seem to be what friends & family want.
...........What THE HECK is green tomato cake?........
Actually it's a REAL cake :) I had soooo many green tomatoes given to me by a neighbor. I googled 'green tomato recipes' and it popped up (along w/g.t. pie) so I tried it. It's a bit on the heavy side but not as 'bread like' as zucchini cake. Has a nice mild flavor; would be good w/coffee (I prefer tea). I've made the recipe several times now. Still have some green tomatoes! :( I've made g.t. pie for yrs.
I have to say, as a good southern girl, I've had my share of Tomato Pie ('Mater Pie), but it's a savory dish with LOTS of cheese, lol. Tomato cake just blew my mind. I may have to check that out, just out of curiosity!
Yes, green tomato pie is very different.....definitely a dessert, not a savory pie. Like many others it tastes similar to apple pie. It's mostly the seasoning that makes it. The last one I made ended up 'deep dish' and the tomatoes stayed rather crunchy - not as good. I baked it over 1 hr, but it still was not as 'done' as I would have liked.
TwoThumbs2 Where I come from pie, tomatoes and cheese is a PIZZA! And really, is there anything better than that ?!?! Yummmmmmm
