A delightful spiced loaf that incorporates green tomato puree for a moist and flavorful treat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two loaf pans.
Greasing the pans ensures the loaf doesn't stick, making it easier to remove after baking.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Sifting the dry ingredients helps to aerate the flour and evenly distribute the spices.
In another bowl, combine the green tomato puree, eggs, brown sugar, molasses, honey, and vanilla extract.
Mixing the wet ingredients thoroughly ensures a smooth batter.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins.
Gently folding in the add-ins prevents them from sinking to the bottom.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
Level the batter in the pans for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf.
Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the loaves from becoming soggy.
Slice and serve the loaf as a delightful snack or breakfast treat.
Serve with a dollop of cream cheese or butter for added indulgence.
