Avocado pound cake

When I was browsing Joy the baker, a really good cookbook, I came across this interesting pound cake. I had to make it and I am glad I did. Here is my take on her recipe.

Ingredient:
3/4 cup butter, room temp
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs, room temp
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup almond flour
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup yogurt, room temp
1/4 cup milk, room temp
1/2 cup mashed ripe avocado

Preheat the over to 350 degrees F. Grease a loaf pan (9x5 inch) and set aside.
Beat the butter with the sugar till light in color fluffy(about 2 mins). Add the avocado and mix for another minute, then start adding the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla and then start adding half the dry ingredients and then the milk and yogurt and finish with the rest of the dry ingredients. Scrape the sides of the bowl and make sure all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 mins, till a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.


The almond flour complements the nuttiness of the avocado beautifully, but it can be replaced with cornmeal as the original recipe suggests or even semolina.
Enjoy!
