Avocado is a kind of fruit that I have never purchase before until my little started on his semi solid. Although I do enjoy those sushi that wrapped with avocado but I never think of buying it and eat. Now avocado is one of the fruits that is in my regular shopping list, to purchase for my little kicker due to the great health benefits.
Since I have one avocado left in the fridge, so I decided to make something with it. I went blog hopping and saw this avocado milk pound cake and decided to give it a try. I adjusted the amount of the ingredients since I had only one avocado to bake the cake.
Recipe from Table for Two or More.
Ingredient
: (for 8"
x 3.5" x 3” loaf pan)
77g
butter
33g sugar
80gm
avocado flesh (used 1 avocado)
3/4 tbsp

100g
condensed milk
135 cake
flour
165g all
purpose flour
2/3 tsp
baking powder
1/8 tsp
baking soda
2 small
eggs
Method
1. Combine
avocado flesh with lemon juice and mash until fine. Pass it through a sieve.
Set aside.
2. Sift cake
flour, all purpose, baking powder and baking soda together. Set aside.
3. Cream
butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one by one, beating well
after each addition.
4. Beat in
condensed milk until well incorporated. Put half the sifted flour in and mix on
low speed.
5. Add the balance of flour. When everything is smooth, on low speed
beat in avocado puree.
6. Pour
batter into a lined loaf pan and bake in preheated oven for 35mins or until
done.
Verdict?
My cake did not come out good, the texture is a bit dry, probably I had either over mix or over bake the cake. As for the taste wise, I dun really can tell it is avocado flavour, the taste is actually quite neutral.
You trained your little one well. Avocado is not for everyone's taste bud. I only like it when it compliment with other food.
ReplyDeleteYour avocado milk pound cake looks delicious there.i had made once b4 using a if fervent recipe but not ure how muh of difference between the 2recipes. Yes, I used to mix avocado with baby cereal & let my children eat. Now I like to use it to mix with boiled eggs & mayonnaise & spread on my bread
ReplyDelete我很喜欢牛油果的味道
ReplyDelete但是每次还没做料理
我都先把它吃了：）
Try Avacado ice cream , they are creamy and good. By the way, what is your camera model? Kind of looking for one new camera.
ReplyDeleteHi Edith, I think is good to start training the kids to eat when they are still baby, they have no choice lol. I am also still learning how to eat avocado heeheehee...
ReplyDeleteJessie, oh sound great to mix with mayo and egg to spread on the bread, I bet it will taste delicious since I love mayo and egg spread. I mix the avocado with cereal or other fruits to feed my baby, sometimes just mashed and let him eat, so far he is ok lol.
ReplyDelete鲸鱼蓝蓝蓝, I am still learning to eat this fruit without compliment with other food leh lol.
ReplyDeleteHi Sonia, ya I am going to try to make it with ice cream.
ReplyDeleteI am using my husband's DSLR, Canon EOS D7 which he just upgraded think end last year from Canon EOS 60D.

I love avocados, but have never made them in a cake... this looks so delicious with the creamy goodness of avocados!
ReplyDeleteJess,
ReplyDeleteIf it taste dry, the batter could be too acidic. You reduced 1/3 of the recipe, but you have also reduced 1/2 of the baking soda of which is slightly too much. The function of the baking soda is to reduce the acidity and hence enhance the texture, if not it will be dry and 'sticky' to the bite.
Avocadoes on its own are pretty bland, what more baked into a cake. Which is why I added the condensed milk :)
I'm sorry that this recipe didn't work out for u.
Hi Wendy, thanks for the explanation, I will take note in future.
ReplyDeleteI made this cake twice ma, the first time I did not add enough baking soda and the texture was like.. powdery. I think you can stick to 1/4 tsp baking soda even if you slightly reduced the recipe because I still do find the recipe is a little bit acidic.
