I opt to make cupcakes rather than a cake, plus I didn't use the chocolate glaze. I chose to frost the cupcakes with a chocolate frosting. I also had to tweak the recipe a bit, using ingredients I had on hand. Instead of the unsweetened chocolate, I used "12 Tablespoons" of Hershey's Unsweetened Baking Cocoa, along with 4 Tablespoons of Crisco Butter Flavored Shortening. Instead of grated orange peel, I used 1-1/2 teaspoons of McCormick's Orange Extract. I could taste a hint of the orange extract, followed by the cinnamon, but I thought it was the chocolate frosting that took these cupcakes over the top. I will definitely use this recipe again, plus it makes for a really moist cake or cupcakes. I don't think no one would ever guess blended green tomatoes were incorporated into the cake. Thank you Eddie for sharing your great grandmother's cake recipe. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
