Ingredients

4 cups green tomatoes finely chopped
1 Tablespoons granulated sugar
½ cup butter softened
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a medium sized bowl, place the chopped tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of sugar and let stand about 15-20 minutes.
Rinse and drain in a colander. Dry with a paper towel as much as possible.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a 9x13 baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until creamy.
In a medium bowl, sift the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda and salt.
Mix the dry mixture into the butter/sugar mixture and mix really well.
Fold in the drained tomatoes and again, mix well.
Spoon into your prepared pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes at 350 degrees, or until toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean.

Notes

Tips:

Add chopped pecans or walnuts for an added crunch either to the top or mix into the batter.
If you want to frost the cake, use a cream cheese frosting with a teaspoon cinnamon dusted on top.
