Avocado cake is a cake prepared using avocado as a primary ingredient, together with other typical cake ingredients. The avocados may be used as an ingredient in batter or as a topping.
Overview[edit]
Avocado is a main ingredient in avocado cake, along with other typical cake ingredients.[1] Many varieties of avocados can be used. Avocado cake may have a subtle avocado flavor imbued in the dish.[2] Mashed avocado can be used as an ingredient in the batter and in cake frostings and toppings.[1][3][4] Sliced avocado can be used to top or garnish it,[3] as can other ingredients such as the zest of citrus fruits.[5]
Additional ingredients used can include yogurt, buttermilk, raisins, dates, walnuts, hazelnuts, allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg[1][6] among others. Lemon juice may be used on the avocado to prevent browning from occurring.[5] Avocado cake can be prepared as a vegetarian and vegan dish.[4][7] Chocolate cake and pancakes can be prepared with avocado as an ingredient in the batter.[4][6]
Variations[edit]
Raw avocado cake[edit]
Avocado cake can be prepared as an uncooked cake using raw avocados and other raw ingredients, which are blended together into a smooth consistency and then chilled.[5] A food processor can be used to blend the ingredients.[5] Raw avocado cake prepared with a significant amount of avocado may contain substantial amounts of vitamin E and essential fatty acids, which are derived from avocado.[lower-alpha 1]
Avocado brownies[edit]
Avocado brownies are brownies prepared using avocado as a primary ingredient.[8] The use of overripe avocados may contribute to the gooey, fudge-like consistency of the dish.[8] Black beans can be used in the dish, and can be used in the place of flour.[9]

Avocado-based cake toppings[edit]
