Avocado Bread With Lime Icing And Pistachios

• 1 None avocado, peeled, stoned and diced
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 225 g butter
• 200 g caster sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 None eggs
• 350 g plain flour
• 50 g ground almonds
• 4 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 50 ml semi-skimmed milk
• 250 g icing sugar
• 1 None lime, grated zest and 5-6 tbsp juice
• 30 g pistachio nuts, roughly chopped

1. Preheat the oven to 325u0b0F. Grease a 6 cup loaf pan and sprinkle with flour. In a bowl, mash the avocado and lemon juice. In a separate large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
2. In another bowl, mix the flour, almonds, and baking powder together. Stir one-third of the flour mixture into the butter mixture, followed by one-third of the avocado mixture and one-third of the milk. Repeat twice. Spoon batter into the pan and smooth out. Bake for 1 hour 10 mins, until a skewer comes out clean, covering with aluminium foil after 20 mins.
3. Allow to cool for 40 mins, then turn out of the pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
4. In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar, lime zest, and lime juice until smooth. Spread over the cake and sprinkle with the pistachios. Allow to set.
