By Abigail Donnelly

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 35 minutes

Cooking Time 1 ½ hours

Ingredients

210 g cake flour
200 g brown sugar
1 t bicarbonate of soda
½ t salt
2 free-range eggs
1 cup mashed avocado (approximately 2 medium-sized avocados)
2 limes, zested
½ cup avocado oil
¼ cup buttermilk
1 t vanilla extract

For the lime drizzle:

130 g icing sugar
2 limes, juiced and zested

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Combine the flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Place the eggs, avocado, lime zest, avocado oil, buttermilk and vanilla in a separate bowl.

Whisk the wet ingredients, then stir into the dry ingredients. Do not overmix the mixture; stop mixing as soon as the two are combined.

Pour the batter into a greased 20 x 11 cm loaf tin and bake for 1½ hours, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool, then pour over the lime drizzle.

To make the lime drizzle, mix the icing sugar and lime juice until smooth and thick.
