Kinda similar to Carrot Cake.
No you can't taste the tomatoes.
So here ya go ☺☺
Fresh Tomato Cake
from RecipeLand
Ingredients
1 cup brown sugar, dark
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
2 large eggs
3 cups flour, all-purpose
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups tomatoes, ripe and peeled
1/2 cup nuts, chopped
1/2 cup dates, chopped
1/2 cup raisins, seedless chopped
Directions
Mix cream sugar and shortening.
Add eggs.
Add sifted dry ingredients, mixing well.
Stir in tomatoes, nuts, dates, and raisins.
Put into greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan.
Bake in preheated 350'F oven for 35 minutes or until cake tests done.
Frost with cream cheese frosting.
I changed a couple things.
I didn't peel the tomatoes. Instead, I pureed them.
Didn't add raisins or dates.
Doubled the nuts.
Now this is a first ... tho I can't eat tomatoes it sounds good.

Deb honey I hate to admit it for all the world to see but this is the first time I have ever ever seen or heard of this kind of cake. lol
ReplyDeleteIn a million years I would have never thought of it. Very unusual
Love your falling leaves...at first I thought something was wrong with my computer. Thank goodness it was your leaves.

Okay, I'll be the first to admit it...I would never have thought of this, but...since I like zucchini cake, carrot cake, and the like, I can see how this would be really good. Now, if only I'd gotten decent tomatoes this year! Sigh...
ReplyDeleteSounds very interesting....may have to try it out next year on the family...should I tell them the ingredients first....nah! Way to fun not too!

Well I saw you had a bounty of 'maters. We can't find good ones here though, they are hard and tasteless anyway. BUT if I ever do get some good ones this sounds like a great recipe.
