How to Make Green Tomato Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened margarine and sugars until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped green tomatoes, chocolate chips, and pecans.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
  9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Enjoy!
