Avocado Ricotta Pound Cake Recipe

November 21, 2012 by Momstart 21 Comments

With heart-healthy fats, plentiful fiber, and naturally revitalizing oils, avocado recipes are a great addition to your seasonal staples. This  Avocado Ricotta Pound Cake from Avocados from Mexico  is rich, moist and delicious. Topped with toasted pumpkin seeds, it’s a comforting treat to have around the house during the cold months.

MA-129P AVOCADO RICOTTA POUND CAKE

Avocado Ricotta Pound Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

3/4 cup mashed pulp of a ripe avocado from Mexico
1/2 cup requesón or ricotta cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1-1/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons lime zest
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
Confectioners’ sugar, to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan and cover the bottom with parchment paper cut to size. In a mixer at medium speed, beat the avocado until smooth and buttery. Add ricotta and butter; mix until fluffy. Add the sugar; beat until incorporated. Add the eggs, one at time, beating well after each addition; add lime juice and mix well. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; add 1/2-cup at a time, to the avocado mixture, stirring just to mix after each addition. Stir in lime zest. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth top; sprinkle with pumpkin seeds. Lay a sheet of parchment paper over the pan. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 60-70 minutes. Allow to cool 15 minutes before removing from pan. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar to serve.

YIELD: 1 loaf; 10 slices
