Green Tomato Breakfast Cake (Or Plum)

Recipe #266932 | 1½ hours | 20 min prep | add private note

By: Ceezie

When Marion Burros ran this simple recipe in the New York Times, it became the paper’s single most requested recipe. Based on a 40-year-old recipe for plum cake that first appeared in Marion Burros and Lois Levine’s The Elegant but Easy Cookbook, this cake is just as good for dessert as it is for breakfast. We substituted green tomatoes for the plums originally called for, but you can use either.
