Buttermilk Pound Cake w/ Citrus Glaze



I love spring. Berries are fresh and abundant. And nothing goes better with berries than pound or angel food cake and a little whipped cream. I decided to try out Alton Brown's buttermilk because, a) I had buttermilk and b) it took a lot less butter for this recipe and I didn't have a lot in the house. Since AB used a citrus glaze, I decided I'd forego the berry topping and add his glaze instead. I was not disappointed.

This pound cake is moist and flavorful all on its own. The citrus glaze adds a nice sweet and sour taste that nicely compliments the flavor of the cake.

Avocado Ice Cream




I've been hesitant to try this. Avocado ice cream? Really? But the avocados were cheap at the local megamart, so I figured what the heck. This is your basic premium-styled ice cream, except were substituting avocados for the eggs. And to quote Alton Brown, "it tastes oddly like avocado and that's a good thing."
Would I make it again? I might. But, if I did I'd add a handful of pig candy. But, that's for another blog.
