This amazing vegan cake (made without eggs or butter) is a real treat and if you have children, they will certainly ask for more! The frosting of the cake is smooth and the cake has a chocolate flavor; the best thing about it is that it has healthy fats. Instead of eggs or butter, the cake is made with avocados. Avocado is a very healthy food since it has vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B9, vitamins C, E, and K, and calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, zinc, sodium, and phosphorus.
The recipe
You will need:
3 cups of all-purpose flour
5 tbsp of dark chocolate cocoa powder
2 tsp of baking powder
2 tsp of baking soda
Half a tsp of kosher salt
¼ cup of olive oil
A ripe avocado, mashed
2 cups of water
2 tbsp of white vinegar
2 tsp of vanilla extract
2 cups of sucanat sugar
For the frosting, you will need:
2 ripe avocados, mashed
A cup of sugar
5 tbsp of dark chocolate cocoa powder
Preparation: First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Celsius and then grease and flour two 9’’ round cake pans. Next, whisk the first five ingredients in a large bowl and in another one, whisk the olive oil and the next four ingredients. After whisking them, add the sugar. Then, pour wet avocado mixture into the flour mixture and mix well until smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans and check it every half an hour in order to know when it’s done.
For the frost, leave the cakes to cool in the pans and then turn it out after 15 minutes so that they can cool completely. Next, add a layer of the previously mixed frosting on the first cake layer and then on the second. Add the remaining frosting to the top of the cake.
Enjoy!
