Green Tomato Cake with Brown Butter Icing

Tonight I attended Relief Society where everyone brought something sweet or savory to share. It was so fun to taste everything. Each brought recipes to share. I tried something new since we have lots of green tomatoes and I can only eat so many Fried Green Tomatoes. This is a great recipes. You would never know by the taste that it had green tomatoes in it. Try it and Enjoy!!

1 cup butter, softened
2 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 1/2 cups diced green tomatoes
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts
Brown Butter Icing
1/2 cup butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 12 cup bundt pan. Beat butter and sugar with a mixer until creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Gradually add dry ingredients to butter mixture, beating well. (Batter will be soft.) Stir in tomatoes, raisins and walnuts. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake for 70 to 75 minutes or until a tester inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely.
Icing: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Cook 6 to 8 minutes or until butter is lightly browned. Whisk in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Frost cake.
