Just hear me out! Only good things can come of it (i.e. cake).
So admittedly I’m a little out of it because of my impending finals. Last time the f word rolled around, I put olive oil in cookies, and now I’ve decided that the ridiculous creaminess of avocado in pound cake is an earth-shatteringly fabulous idea. !@#$?
Spoiler alert: it is.
Start by making this incomprehensibly delicious batter. The rich avocado mixed with the sugar creates this magical caramel-y effect. Seriously. Try not to eat as much as I did.
Spread into a small-ish loaf pan and bake it up!
Just as a heads up, if you bake the cake in a regular-sized loaf pan like I did, the pieces will turn out pretty short. But worry not! This avocado pound cake is so so rich that a short (but still wide) piece will leave you more than satisfied with a giant smile on your face.
Gosh, I’m thinking of all the things I can do with this. Pound cake French toast? Pound cake bread pudding? Pound cake s’mores?
Okay no. I’m off to go find out what year the war of 1812 started in. Maybe I’ll have a little snack first…
