This bread tastes like cake, as the name implies, but it has a chewy, velvety texture. The green tomato is surprising and sweet, and it adds an amazing moistness to this recipe. This bread is on repeat in my kitchen all autumn long.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups finely diced green tomatoes
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9×5-inch loaf pans.
  2. Mix tomatoes, sugar, walnuts, canola oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt together in a large bowl until well blended.
  3. Mix flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder together in a separate bowl.
  4. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture until just blended.
  5. Spoon batter into prepared loaf pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle of each loaf comes out clean, about 60-75 minutes.
  6. Let the loaves cool in the pans for about 15 minutes and remove from the pans, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 45 minutes.
  7. Serve with butter and enjoy!
