Introduction

A moist spicy cake...a good way to use some of those extra green tomatoes before frost hits. Sprinkle the finished cake with confectioners' sugar or a nice dollop of vanilla fat free yogurt. This can be made with or without the nuts, either way its very yummy. A moist spicy cake...a good way to use some of those extra green tomatoes before frost hits.

    Very Good
    I didn't have walnuts and used craisins instead of raisins. I was pleasantly surprized. Thanks - 10/11/11
