Can you see the gusto of which Harper is licking her spoon?
: Katie served hers warm with cream cheese - we actually ate it hot because the girls couldn't wait! It freezes really well and the verdict from my girls? YUM! I had a little bit too and while it's not the sweetest of cakes it was delicious and certainly something different. Enjoy!
Well there you go....a cake with avocado. Got to try this recipe. Thanks Beth x
ReplyDeleteMore shocked that you're friend's with your landlord than I am that you put avocado in a cake :)
ReplyDeleteBut that's probably because when I rented, I was a baked bean eating poverty stricken university student, & subsequently paid my rent at least 2 weeks late every month ;)
So me & the landlords weren't exactly friend's :)
Nor did we swap recipes, haha!
Awesome looking cake though xx
This looks awesome! I am on a huge avocado kick myself (heart healty!!!) and I am going to make this for sure! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI need to get some of that parchment paper instead of greasing the pan..
WOW looks great Beth! Forgot to add that we actually added icing sugar to our cream cheese to sweeten it up a tad!
ReplyDeleteGlad you tried and liked it (or lied very sweetly)

any cake you can eat on a diet is cool with me!
ReplyDeletexo em
Wow. That would be one successful diet invention for me as it is against my religion to cook avocado in any way shape or form. The end.
ReplyDeleteOh good one Bev! You just made me eat some of my cake that I'd completely forgot about!
ReplyDeleteBut this does look good, I might have to try it out. Green cake is pretty awesome!
Oh its green cake it has to be good for us, good one Bev!!
ReplyDeleteI ain't never seen anything like it! And I'm like Kim, I hate cooked avocado... but I don't think this would be too bad!
ReplyDeleteI'm very definitely going to try this cake. I have a recipe for avocado cheesecake that freaks everyone out but honestly it's YUMMY! So I expect the cake will be too.
ReplyDeleteOne word: amazeballs!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh I made the same thing not too long ago. It was super delicious!! :D
ReplyDeleteAvocado in a cake? Now I've heard it all. So intrigued I may just have to bake it!
