AVOCADO PISTACHIO POUND CAKE WITH LEMON GLAZE



Avocado Pistachio Pound Cake with Lemon Glaze image

This cake feels to me 100 percent Californian, the land of abundant avocados. Use a good-quality avocado, and make sure it's not too ripe--just ripe enough to be sweet, and bright green where the flesh meets the skin.

Time 1h50m

Yield One 9-by-5-inch loaf cake

Number Of Ingredients 17

Unsalted butter, for greasing
2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (40 grams) ground pistachios, unsalted and raw
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups (300 grams) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup (118 milliliters) grapeseed oil
1/2 cup (200 grams) mashed, ripe avocado
1/2 cup (115 grams) full-fat sour cream
Zest of 1 large lemon
1 cup (126 grams) confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons ground pistachios
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more if needed
Thinly sliced candied lemon zest, edible flower petals and roughly chopped toasted pistachios, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Position a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan and line the bottom and long sides with parchment paper, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder and baking soda into a mixing bowl. Add the ground pistachios and salt and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the sugar and eggs together on medium speed until the eggs loosen, then slowly stream in the oil until it emulsifies. Continue to beat until the mixture is very light in color and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the avocado, sour cream and zest and beat just until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Incorporate the flour mixture in three additions, mixing on low speed after each addition just until no bits of dry flour remain.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and lightly rap the pan on the counter to dislodge any air pockets in the batter. Bake for about 1 hour, until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Allow the cake to cool completely in its pan.
  • While the cake cools, make the glaze: Sift the confectioners' sugar into a small mixing bowl. Add the lemon zest, ground pistachios and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice and mix until incorporated. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice and mix until the thickness of the glaze is similar to runny honey. If you want a thinner consistency, add additional lemon juice or water 1 teaspoon at a time and whisk until combined.
  • Set a wire rack over a parchment-lined baking sheet and turn the cake out onto the rack. Pour the glaze over the top. Decorate the cake with candied lemon zest, edible flowers and toasted pistachios, if desired. Let the glaze set on the cake for 20 minutes before cutting. This cake keeps well in a sealed container at room temperature for 1 week.

POUNDCAKE AND STRAWBERRIES



Poundcake and Strawberries image

A hard man I know made this dessert once out of supermarket cake and industrial strawberries, to serve small children who were maybe slightly afraid of him. They gurgled with delight when he slid bowls of it before them: the cake cut into large cubes and served beneath the macerated strawberries, with fresh whipped cream. This formed a bond between them all. In the crowd in which I run, poundcake and strawberries has since become a spring and summer standard, the cake home-made and, when we're lucky, the strawberries gathered from fields nearby. But not always. A supermarket version is a worthy substitute.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound unsalted, softened butter (4 sticks), cubed, plus extra for greasing the cake pan
1 pound granulated sugar (2 cups)
8 large eggs
1 pound all-purpose flour (4 cups), plus extra for flouring the cake pan
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Zest of 1 large lemon
Juice of 1 large lemon
1 quart strawberries, rinsed and sliced
1/2 cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a bowl or a standing mixer, beat the butter until it is creamed, then add the sugar, beating until it is well mixed. Beat the eggs in a bowl and add them to the mixture. Add the salt. Add the flour, a little bit at a time, and then the vanilla, the lemon zest and juice, mixing to incorporate.
  • Grease and flour a Bundt pan or two cake pans. Pour in the batter. Bake for approximately 1 1/4 hours, or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Turn the cake out and allow to cool on a rack.
  • Cut the cake into large cubes. Combine strawberries with sugar in a bowl and allow to sit for 20 to 30 minutes. Put strawberries on top of cake. Top with whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe strawberries: Using ripe, juicy strawberries will ensure the best flavor in your pound cake.
  • Use good quality pistachio pudding mix: Not all pudding mixes are created equal. Be sure to use a brand that you trust for the best results.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense pound cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set properly.

Conclusion:

This pistachio pound cake with strawberries is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, tender crumb, sweet and tangy strawberry filling, and crunchy pistachio topping, this cake is sure to be a hit.
