Piece of life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Avocado came quite late into my life. Mainly, I was not fond of it until a few years ago. Then, I finally started to like it, and now it’s one of my favourite ingredients. After a long working day, my meal desire: a tuna and avocado sandwich (and some tomatoes and onion rings). Or even a delicious poke bowl with salmon, avocado and mango. Ah, I love it! Then, avocado to a sandwich, salad, or guacamole. I eat it anyway. But today, it is about a less common use that I want to talk to you about the sweet avocado version. Although it may sound inappropriate, you must know that avocado is a fruit. My mother-in-law was shocked the first time she saw me eating avocado in a salad [I guarantee you, now she is used to it]. The reason is that in Brazil, avocado is consumed as a sweet food [yes, it is a fruit]. The most popular recipe is probably the avocado smoothie [“vitamin de abacate”; prepared with avocado, milk and sugar]. Or simply as fresh fruit or in fruit salads. It was me who felt weird about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok, I already know what you’re thinking: avocado on a cake, she’s lost her mind. Well, no! Avocado in a cake is simply brilliant. The cake is uniquely soft [and stays that way for days and days]. And you know what? You cannot feel the avocado taste at all, the only clue that could threaten us would be the soft greenish colour of the dough, but it’s not as pronounced as I thought.
For the record, I was looking for a dairy-free cake recipe for my daughter’s birthday. And I came face to face with this recipe from the Australian avocados website that caught my eye because it contained\u2026avocado. Considering my Brazilian experience with this fruit, I told myself it would not be such a crazy thing. Anyway, it was worth trying. The result surprised us, and the cake was a big hit. I made it again last week, and it was a success, even with the most skeptical ones.
Coconut and lime, the rest is a duo that works well, and the avocado\u2026 that’s the chef’s little surprise!<\/p>\n\n\n
