Indulgent chocolate avocado cake: moist, rich, and irresistibly delicious, offering a healthier dessert option without sacrificing taste!
Ingredients:
  • 200g fresh dates, pitted, chopped
  • 2.50 gm bicarbonate of soda
  • 108.00 gm maple syrup
  • 36.80 gm canola oil
  • 100g (about 1/2 large avocado) avocado flesh
  • 2 Free Range Eggs
  • 8.80 gm vanilla extract
  • 225g self-raising flour
  • 50g cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 60ml milk
  • Sea salt flakes, to serve (optional)
  • 1 large avocado, stoned, peeled
  • 25g cocoa powder
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, combine dates and 1 cup (250ml) water. Gently bring to a boil on low heat, then mix in the bicarbonate of soda. Pour the mixture into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C, then prepare a 20cm round cake pan by greasing it and lining the base with baking paper.
  • Blend together the date mixture, maple syrup, oil, avocado, eggs, and vanilla in a food processor until smooth. In a large bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Combine with the avocado mixture and milk, folding until just mixed. Pour into the prepared pan and level the surface.
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake. Let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the luscious avocado frosting, combine avocado, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a food processor until smooth. Generously spread over the cake and top with sea salt flakes for extra flair. Cut into wedges before serving.
