Ingredients
Cake
3 cups all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons dark chocolate cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup canola oil
1 ripe avocado, mashed until smooth
2 cups water
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups sugar
Frosting
2 ripe avocados, mashed until smooth
2 cups confectioner’s sugar
5 tablespoons dark chocolate cocoa powder
Method
Preheat oven to 180. Grease and flour two round cake pans.
In a large bowl, whisk the first five ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk canola oil and the next four ingredients. Once combined, add sugar.
Pour wet avocado mixture into the flour mixture and mix well until smooth.
Divide batter evenly between cake pans.
Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
To frost, allow cakes to cool in pans, then turn out after 15 minutes to cool completely. Add a layer of frosting on the first cake layer, then top with a second cake layer. Add remaining frosting to the top of the cake.
