A fact from Avocado cake appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 January 2016 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that avocado cake(example pictured) may be topped with an avocado-based fool, a pressed fruit mixture or fruit purée mixed with custard or cream?
(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline
(b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose)
Advance notice – Just so you know in advance, when creating and expanding this article, I pretty much "used up" many of the reliable source coverage about the topic in the English language that is available online. Some sources essentially report the same content in different manners. Additional websites are available, but do not constitute Wikipedia's definition of reliable sources.

N.b. After a bunch more digging, I found some more usable reliable sources and have expanded the article in bits and pieces, using bits and pieces/mentions from various sources. Sources are essentially "running out" at this time, although a few more are available but paywalled, which I don't have access to. North America100005:42, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In "Overview", where it begins with: "Avocado is a main ingredient in avocado cake, along with other typical cake ingredients,[1][2] and various varieties of avocados may be used", I might recommend splitting the part about various varieties into a separate sentence. It feels like a self-containing portion of the sentence as is. Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 07:48, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Is it just me? Am I the only one who is astounded that "avocado cake" has been considered "notable" enough to have its own article in Wikipedia? Maybe I'm really out of touch, but I would have considered "avocado cake" to be an item that might "trend" for a couple of years in food-oriented blogs, and then be quietly forgotten. Granted, the article is well written, has proper references, nice illustrations, and Wikipedia has nearly limitless space, but really ---- "avocado cake"?

Reviving this because I just came across this article and was shocked at how pointless it is. The whole article can be boiled down to "Avocado [confectionary] are [confectionary] prepared using avocado as a primary ingredient"—don't need a Wikipedia article to tell you that! It should be deleted or modified at least to show what about using avocado makes the confection particularly noteworthy. --100.40.62.139 (talk) 03:34, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
