Pear and Green Tomato Cake

This recipe makes two tender, warmly spiced cakes or loafs with crispy edges perfect for dessert, breakfast or snacking. 

Ingredients:

3 cups flour

1/4 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1/4 tsp allspice

1 tbsp cinnamon

1 tsp salt

2 eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups shredded green tomato, remove excess liquid

1/2 cup chopped pears

Stir the flour, baking soda, baking powder, both sugars, allspice, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside. In another bowl mix the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla and shredded green tomato together and add to the dry ingredients. It will be a little crumbly. Fold in the chopped pears. Grease 2 pans... either 2-9X5" loaf pans or 1 loaf and 1-9"round or 8X8" square. Spoon the batter into the prepared pans and bake at 350°F. The loaves will take 55-60 minutes to bake but if you choose to bake in cake pans start checking for doneness at 40-45 minutes. Cool 10 minutes in pans then remove and cool completely on racks.
