I have a recipe for a chocolate thunder cake. It calls for tomato puree in it. Does that sound right?

Yuck. I can't imagine tomatoes in a cake would be good. They are so acidic that it might taste a bit weird. I would stick to the cake recipes with lots of cocoa and butter...no tomatoes. Eeew.

Technically, tomatoes are classified as a fruit.
Some people will try to put anything into a recipe just to be weird. I once came across a recipe for "Mock Apple Pie" it was made of Ritz Crackers and lemon juice which the author claimed to taste just like apple pie: it didn't.

The tomato puree (or tomato sauce) adds moistness and acidity. You will not really taste it but it is essential to the recipe.
