• 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.

– Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

• 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 America¹⁰⁰⁰ 05:42, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

• No problem; if you'd like I'll save this review until after I've completed the other four I signed on for, so you've got more time to really iron it out. ;) Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 08:25, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Comments

• 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)

•  Done. Makes sense. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 09:55, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
