How to make Chocolate Avocado Cake?

Chocolate Cake?  With Avocado in it?   Am I crazy?

The answer is yes, actually, I am crazy most of the time, but I’m not crazy when it comes to this cake.  It’s shockingly good.  One bite and you’re all like,

“WHAT Avocado and Chocolate Cake”

and I’m all like,

“I KNOW.  IT’S CRAZY.”

Chocolate Avocado Cake Recipe 1

The thing is, it works so well!  It’s sweet and chocolately without being cloying or over the top.   It’s moist without tasting wet, airy without being dry.  I had to stop myself from pinching off little pieces while I was photographing it because I kept ruining the shot.  

Ok, so maybe I took quite a few “pinches”, and then worked some serious crop feature later on in Photoshop, but who cares.  This is an excellent cake.

Chocolate Avocado Cake Recipe 2

It does have the faintest, faintest taste of avocado.  If you didn’t know there was avocado in the batter, you’d have no idea it was even there in the first place.  The first step is to be sure to use an avocado that’s good and ripe, so it will blend well.  Then proceed in a normal cake-maker fashion.

Why an avocado, you ask?  It’s there to replace the butter and most of the oil.  Ever hear of using applesauce instead of oil when making brownies or cake from a box? It’s the same idea.  It’s just taking some of the bad fats, and replace it with the good – all for the love of a better cake.

Chocolate Avocado Cake Recipe

How to make Chocolate Avocado Cake? Don’t believe me? Try it and see. If you’re really going gung-ho for Avocado Lovin’ with this one, you can try whipping mashed avocado and some sugar together with a hand blender, and use that to frost the cake. That’s not my jam, since I prefer to stick with the old standard of cream cheese frosting, but hey- crazier things have happened.  
Yum
