“This is a moist, spice-type cake...a good way to use some of those extra green tomatoes before frost hits. Sprinkle the finished cake with confectioners' sugar or frost with your favorite caramel or cream cheese frosting.” - by Glenda

"This is a fantastic recipe. I love it. I did do two things wrong and it still was amazing.
