My SIL Annie given me a packet of this corn meal (polenta) which I have been looking to buy some, but i couldn't find this corn meal in nearby supermarket...
I bought 3 Avocados from Tesco which only cost me RM 3.50 (USD1). This is discounted price as those avocado not in good looking skin but I think is still good to use for baking. I managed to find this recipe in Joy of Baker which use both avocado and corn meal..

hi sonia..
i have always wish to bake avocado cake and i found your recipe..i'm wondering if cornmeal can be substitute?
I've never heard of an avocado cake, but I bet its outstanding! Thanks for sharing!
我很喜欢牛油果...不过最近我在JJ看到的都很难熟的:$
That is interesting adding avocado to cake.It sounds delicious.
Jane, this was my 1st time bake a avocado cake, have no idea what to be substituted. I would suggest you just omit corn meal and slightly increase the flour.
I love avocado and this is definitely very healthy cake.
HEHE..Sonia..hope that you will earn big bucks with your cheese cake!!
and how is this avocado cake? looks nice!!
I love the creamy texture of avocado, wonder how it taste like in cakes
wow what a wonderful cake love the avocado in here
I think Avocado will yield a very soft and creamy cake. Would like to try this also because I like the light fragrance of avocado :)
oh this is a unique pound cake. I love pound cakes, but never tried any with avocados in it. Should be a great treat to the taste buds.
Mmmmm that sounds quite delicious. Diane

I bought fine cornmeal in Jaya Grocer at Empire.
Still in the pack, unused for months, kekeke.
Avocado cake sounds nice
Great looking cake! So smooth. The avocados are quite cheap. As long as I know, it costs about RM3.99 for one. Lucky you! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Hope you're having a great weekend.
Cheers, Kristy
The texture looks amazing Sonia! Now this is the type of pound cake I would like to sink my teeth into. Your cotton cheesecake sounds very good...so good you could make a lot money selling it :D I would just have to change the filling for myself :)
Have a great weekend!
I would not have thought of mixing corn meal and avocado together. Looks great and Happy Easter!
I've never had avocado cake, but I can imagine it tastes wonderful. I do enjoy drinking sweet avocado shakes :).
I love avocado but I am yet to try an avocado cake. I'm sure it's delicious and I'm sure I'll like it.
Happy Easter, Sonia!

I would have never thought of having avocodo in cake but it seems to work very well! nicely done sonia!
This is an inspiring bake as I have not seen avocado in bakes before.. :)
Sonia, the cake looks yummy!!
also to let you know that you've been invited for the easter party@5 recipes to celebrate easter. try to join if you can..
hi sonia, that was really a good bargain that you're getting for your avocados! i would like to give this a try someday, thanks!
Wow you certainly get a great bargain out of the avacados. Over here the cheapest I can find is 0.75 cents each and that also when they are in season. I actually never bake with avacado. It is a good idea to incorporate them into cakes since they are so creamy. Well done Sonia!
I have never seen avocados in bakes ! This is something definitely very creative and it looks good !
avocado pound cake....hmmm...it something new to me !
3 avocado for RM3.50 is very cheap leh....
我这里的有机店有卖polenta，不过是比较粗的，你那包polenta看起来比较好！
Hi Sonia! Whoa! Avocado in a pound cake! You are so creative... I don't think anyone cooked that before. :-D It's really nice to meet you and your blog. Thank you for commenting on my chicken adobo. It's nice to meet you!
Very nice! I like using avocado in baked goods, healthier!
I am sure this cake has a unique flavor. When find cheap avocados, got to try this out. How was the cooking show last Sunday? So sorry I missed it and miss catching up with you.
I love the idea of using avocado ... your cake looks really beautiful.
I really am curious how it taste like - such an interesting combo - avocado and cake!
Avocado should give this cake a moist and rich flavor. Saw your blueberry cheese cake- you should really start to take orders now :)
I was caught by your avocado in cake :) Definitely new for me! I only like avocado in guacamole but this sounds excellent and not too avocado-ish, hehe...
Oh! This pound cake looks d=beautiful, like the idea of cornmeal in it...great with a cup of tea. Hope you are having a wonderful week Sonia :-)
How buttery and rich with the lovely avocado! I bet it's scrumptious!
Your recipes are simply awesome. I'm a nasi lemak fan too not to mention the Lo mai kai :)
Who would have thought an avocado would make a great pound cake ... not me for sure!
