Someone gave me a big bag of green tomatoes, and you can eat just so many fried ones so I've been searching out recipes.

Prep:12 mins
Cook:60 mins
Total:72 mins
Servings:12 servings
Yield:1 cake
Ingredients
1 cup vegetable oil, or melted vegetable shortening, plus more for greasing pan
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
2 1/4 cups sugar*
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup pecans
1 cup raisins
2 1/2 cups finely diced green tomatoes
1/2 cup flaked coconut, or to taste, optional
Steps to Make It
Gather the ingredients.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, vegetable oil or shortening, eggs, and vanilla extract; beat until smooth and creamy.
Sift together flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg; slowly beat into egg mixture. Blend well.
Stir in pecans, raisins, and tomatoes.
Pour into prepared baking pan. Top with coconut, if desired.
Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden pick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
Recipe Variations
Use melted vegetable shortening as a substitute for the vegetable oil, if you prefer.
Swap the pecans out for chopped walnuts.
Instead of raisins, try brickle bits, chocolate chips, dried cranberries or blueberries, chopped dried apricots, or golden raisins.
Frost the cake with a cream cheese frosting or a simple sprinkling of confectioners' sugar.
Replace the cinnamon and nutmeg with 1 1/2 teaspoons of apple pie spice or pumpkin spice blend.
* A couple of the reviewrs said this cake is very sweet and is better when using only 1 1/2 cups of sugar.
