Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 375 g flour
  • 6 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 60 ml vegetable oil I used coconut oil
  • 500 ml water
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/ 170 degrees C/gas mark 4.
  • Grease and flour two 8 or 9-inch rounds. Put aside.
  • Sift together all of the dry ingredients except the sugar. Set that aside too.
  • Mix all the wet ingredients together in a bowl, including the mashed avocado.
  • Add sugar into the wet mix and stir.
  • Mix the wet with the dry, and beat with a whisk until smooth.
  • Pour batter into a greased cake tins.
  • Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let cakes cool.
  • Add icing when cool.

The icing is made as follows:-

2 small to medium, very ripe avocados

2 teaspoons lemon juice

450g icing sugar, sifted

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Peel and remove the avocado meat, ensuring no brown spots.

Place the avocado meat into the bowl of a stand mixer fit with the whisk attachment.

Add lemon juice and whisk the avocado on medium speed, until slightly lightened in color and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the icing sugar a little at a time and beat.

Add vanilla extract until combined.

This will store OK in the fridge, it won't turn brown!
