This moist cake recipe uses Fresh California Avocado in place of some of the butter or shortening used in a traditional buttermilk cake. With a raspberry filling and topped with creamy key lime buttercream frosting it’s simply delicious!

Serves: 10
Serving Suggestion: For the tall 3 layer cake (pictured) 1 1/2 cake recipes and a single recipe of buttercream was used. An open star decorating tip (such as a Wilton 199) was used to create the whimsical frosting design.
Beverage pairing: Delicious with a glass of milk.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
In addition to using avocados in baking as a smart substitution for butter and shortening, California Avocados are wonderful in other desserts like avocado pie, avocado mousse and avocado ice cream.
As with all fruits and vegetables, wash avocados before cutting. Check out our tips for how to choose and use California Avocados
