Unfortunately, I puree the avocado too way in advance and it oxidised by the time I bake it.
Findings: Despite its colour, the cake is moist and soft. With avocado as fats replacement over butter, this cake is definitely a healthier version of a butter cake. Definitely a keeper.
I also omitted the frosting as the portion I left for it turned brown and I reckon that it will look awful as frosting.

DeleteNow that's a nice way to make me eat avocado... I don't like it as a fruit but as a substitue of fats in cake, u totally enticed me! Keeper
ReplyDeleteVic, me too but if pair with gula melaka it is heavenly.
DeleteAwww too bad abt the avocado turning brown, next time add in some lime juice to keep it looking vibrant. But nonetheless your cake looks great!
ReplyDeleteI did add lime juice to it but I guess it wasn't enough.
DeleteHi Edith,
ReplyDeleteI think your cake looks lovely. I wouldn't imagine the avocado would make it very green even if you waited until the last minute. I must say, I would love to try this recipe. It sure looks delectable and moist. Thank you so much for sharing, Edith. I'll be saving this!
Yes Louise, it might.
