Special Precautions and Tips:
- Make sure to grate the green tomatoes finely. This will help them to blend into the cake and release their flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
- If you don't have green tomatoes, you can substitute ripe tomatoes. However, the cake will be less tangy.
