I'm not sharing the original recipe here. What's the point? It's not like I actually follow the original recipe. I tend to modify recipes regularly and for once I actually wrote down the changes I made to the original recipe (aren't you impressed, Heather? I know you don't usually write down your recipe modifications, either ;o).
Tomato Chocolate Cake
Cream together the following ingredients:
1/2 cup Earth Balance (vegan margarine)
1&1/3 cup maple syrup (you can adjust the amount here to your taste)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 cup cold water
1 cup pureed tomatoes (I use my home canned ones)
Sift together the dry ingredients:
2&1/2 cups whole wheat flour*
1/2 cup dry cocoa powder
1 1/2tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
*depending upon the whole wheat flour you use, the batter may be quite thick - if this is the case you can add a little more liquid sweetner here or increase the amount of water. Try adding just a couple of tablespoons to see if you can thin out the batter a slight bit.*
Preheat oven to 350F
1. Mix dry ingredients into the creamy mixture until thoroughly combined.
2. Bake in a lightly oiled 9"x 13" pan for 35-40 minutes.
Frost if desired.

Well...I'd be a lot more impressed if I'd got a little sample of the cake. ;-)
I agree with Heather. It doesn't really look that good so I think you might have to prove to us that it actually tastes good by bringing us a sample.
;-)
P.S - frosting IS desired - especially if it is the melted chocolate kind that Samantha makes.
Oh how refined, a cup and saucer! Very pretty ones, too.
I"ll tell you, good thing you showed a picture! I'd already decided just looking at the photo that I HAD to have me some of that (and no, I won't be sharing either! i'm pregnant with a broken leg for pete's sake!!!) before I read the recipe. The ingredients sound absolutely dreadful! Like some kind of experiment gone wrong! But I was sold on the photo and I"m going to try it out as soon as I can stand up again... he he he
Crumbs, pardon the pun, I haven't ever heard of tomatoes in a cake? I like the word frost, we call it ice over here, but I guess it means the same thing! I hope you enjoyed it, it does look yummy. x
I'm with Heather and Samantha: I think I need a sample before I can wax eloquently with you...
