. After I tried it my reaction was

This cake didn't last long but I was able to snap a pic before it vanished

. I had never heard of a green tomato cake. Have any of you ever had one?

Mama used to make a green tomatoes bread that was good. More like a cake than a bread though. I always liked pickled green tomatoes best though.
