Level: Easy
Total: 2 hr 10 min
Active: 20 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying loaf pan
  2. 1 pound vine tomatoes (about 3)
  3. 1 cup light brown sugar
  4. 6 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
  5. 2 eggs
  6. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  7. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  8. 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  9. 1 teaspoon salt
  10. 1 cup confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Puree the tomatoes in a blender and measure out 2 cups for the cake. Reserve any remaining juice for the glaze.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the brown sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, and then mix in the 2 cups tomato puree. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the tomato-butter mixture and mix to combine.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool slightly, and then remove from the pan and transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  5. To make the tomato glaze, mix together the confectioners’ sugar and 2 tablespoons of the reserved tomato juice until the mixture reaches a glaze-like consistency. Drizzle over the top of the cake.

Very good and very pretty! I got a hint of tomato at first, and it was a little weird, but it goes along the same lines as zucchini bread… the sugar makes it great! regardless it was a fun bread to make especially since I always have an over abundance of tomatoes in my garden.

I made it with 50% white whole wheat flour. It was good…not too sweet. No complaints.

Can this is doubled or tripled?
