Found this interesting cake recipe this weekend in an equally interesting cookbook called Morning Fires, Evening Lights published by the Marlboro folks. Yes, those Marlboro folks. I appreciate a creative culinary experiment and this is it. Have not tested the recipe-yet. (Tomatoes are a fruit after all!) Let's Salsa?
