Patricia Polacco’s Thunder Cake,This is the Thunder Cake recipe from Patricia Polacco’s “Thunder Cake” picture book. It is a wonderful chocolate cake with a hint of fruit flavor from the secret ingredient! It is perfect frosted with Recipe #169403 and topped with fresh sliced strawberries! (The strawberries and tomato match wonderfully and I promise that no one will know it is tomato, they will only ask what you did to make it so wonderful!),Do you need the vanilla?,do you need the shortening?
