I love this recipe. The only change I made was to use my blender to puree the tomatoes. I will be making this again when we have green tomatoes in the garden!

This cake was wonderful and moist. When I told my husband it had green tomatoes in it, he wasn't going to even try it. After he tried it, I saw him sneaking and getting another piece. I'm making it again this weekend for my out of town guests.

Just made 3 of these (I had a lot of green tomatoes!). This is delicious! I did throw the tomatoes in the food processer, after dicing, seeds, skins and all. Other than that I followed the directions exactly. However, I found that the cakes that I put in nonstick pans cooked much faster and one was a little dry. The next one in such a pan I took out sooner than the recommended 40 minutes and it was fine. So if you are using a nonstick pan check after about 30 minutes. It doesn't need a frosting at all but I put a cream cheese frosting on anyway. Either way it's very good! Thank you for a fabulous way to use up my green tomatoes!

This cake is incredible!! I did what f64club did, pureeing the tomatoes seeds, skins and all. I let sit in a colander to drain the excess liquid (and used the liquid for watering a plant). I used a little over two cups of puree. I also made enough puree (refrigerated) to make one more cake, PLUS froze two more portions for future use. I am predicting my brother will love this. I didn't have the raisins but did add walnuts. Reminds me of a zuchinni cake. Incredibly moist! My Mom wants to try a cream cheese frosting, but honestly, this cake can easily stand alone!!

I left a few bigger chunks in the tomatos and when I bit into them they almost tasted like apples. Sweet bread. Delicious with a caramel frosting! So Keeping this one... WAY to many green tomatos this year....

if you are wondering what green tomatoes in a cake taste like, I found them to taste like cooked yellow raisins. I was very apprehensive to try this recipe but it actually turned out good. I topped mine with a cream cheese frosting and I really think that is what made this cake. Will prob not be my "go to" coffee cake but I can def see myself making this again next time I have a bunch of green tomatoes I need to use up.

Love this recipe!! So easy and tasty. Great way to use up green tomatoes other than frying them :) I followed the recipe exactly as shown except I used 2 cups of tomatoes very finely chopped (almost blended), as suggested by another reviewer... Also, I was fooled when the toothpick came clean quiet early on (around 30 mins). Turns out it could have used a few more minutes, not the full 45 though. Thanks Glenda!

Excellent! I replaced the butter with 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, used 1/2 tsp nutmeg, and used pecans. Family loved it, didn't even need frosting it was plenty sweet.
