Hmmm... perhaps for some people the adversion is too great.  For me it is
asparagus, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and broccoli.

I've never heard of a fruitcake recipe that called for asparagus, 
cauliflower, brussel sprouts and broccolli...That would be more of a 
"vegetable cake"...again, something I've never heard of.

I have made a "salad cake" before.  However, that's a story in and of 
itself.  I really enjoy baking desserts and stuff like that.  A friend of 
mine had the "gall" to ask me to bring a salad to a pot-luck.  Well, I made 
a regular salad, but then I HAD to make a cake and somehow persuade 
everybody that it was really a salad.  So....

Flour comes from wheat which is a grass - grass is a plant - plants = 
vegetable.
Chocolate comes from a bean - beans = vegetable
Vegetable oil - c'mon, it's in the name... VEGETABLE oil
Eggs - I don't know about you, but I've had plenty of salads that have eggs 
in them.
Sugar - comes from sugar cane or sugar beets - beets = vegetable
milk - Milk is extract of grass as processed through a cow, so milk= 
vegetable

Hence, cake = salad
