Ingredients
2 eggs
160g castor sugar
100ml sunflower oil
170g plain flour
1/2 tsp bicarb soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp cracked black pepper
400g roughly chopped, de-seeded green tomatoes (the preserved ones Simply Tomatoes www.simplytomatoes.com.au) are a good alternative for other times of the year).
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 180C
Grease a loaf tin measuring roughly 19cm x 9cm x 6cm, then line with baking paper.
Whisk together the eggs and sugar until fluffy and light. Add the oil, mix through.
Fold in the rest of the ingredients until fully incorporated, then pour into the tin and bake for 30-45 minutes.
Check whether the cake/loaf is ready by inserting a skewer. It should ease through and come out clean.
Once cooked, turn out onto a cooling wire. This cake will save, wrapped in a tea towel, for a few days in the bread or cake tin.
How are you using up your excess cucumbers and green tomatoes?
