Avocado Pound Cake (What!)

April 17, 2012

You expect it in guacamole, and you've even become used to it in smoothies, but avocado cake, like this one from Serious Eats via Joy the Baker's new cookbook, really takes the well, you know.

It's simple: avocado is mixed into the creamed butter and sugar of a pound cake that has just enough cornmeal for a rustic texture. Make a loaf today and blow the minds of your loved ones.

I'm Nozlee Samadzadeh, a writer, editor, farmer, developer, and passionate home cook. Growing up Iranian in Oklahoma, working on a small-scale organic farm, and cooking on a budget all influence the way I cook -- herbed rice dishes, chicken fried steak, heirloom tomato salad, and simple poached eggs all make appearances on my bright blue kitchen table. I love to eat kimchi (homemade!) straight from the jar and I eat cake for breakfast.
