Green Tomato Snack Cake

Did your fall garden clean out leave you with a bunch of green tomatoes? This green tomato snack cake is similar to carrot cake so it goes well with cream cheese frosting. But frosting is just an option as it is moist and spicy on it's own.

Ingredients:

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp allspice

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup applesauce

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries

1 1/4 cups diced green tomatoes

Combine the whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and allspice. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, vegetable oil, applesauce, eggs and vanilla together. Next mix the dry ingredients into the wet and stir to combine.

Fold in the walnuts, raisins and green tomatoes and spoon into an 8 X 8" baking pan that has been sprayed with oil and lined on the bottom with parchment paper.

Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes. A cake tester should come out clean when it's done.

Makes 9 servings
