1 Stick butter, melted
1 tb Grated fresh ginger
6 tb Light brown sugar
3 Ripe tomatoes, skinned,
Seeded & sliced 1/4 inch
Thick
1 Stick butter
1 1/2 c Brown sugar
1/2 c Molasses
2 1/2 c Unbleached white flour
2 ts Baking powder
1 tb Ground ginger
1/2 ts Ground cloves
1 c Buttermilk
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine the melted butter with the ginger and sugar
and spread evenly on the bottom of a 10 x 14 inch baking pan. Cover with
tomato slices. Meanwhile, in a mixer, cream the butter with the brown sugar
and molasses. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and
spices. Add flour mixture, alternately with the buttermilk to the creamed
butter and sugar. Pour batter over tomatoes in baking pan. Bake for
approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when testing
the center of the cake. Remove from the oven, loosen outer edges with a
knife and invert onto a platter larger than the baking pan. Let stand at
least 5 minutes before trying to remove the pan. Serve warm with whipped
cream or vanilla ice cream.
