Baking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease an 8-inch springform cake pan and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sugar and mix until combined.
- In a high speed blender or food processor, add the avocado, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract, and pulse until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients and blend once more until a smooth cake batter remains.
- Transfer the cake batter into the greased cake pan. Bake for 37-40 minutes, or until a skewer comes out mostly clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost with the chocolate frosting.
Notes
Store the leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For freezing, place cake slices in a freezer-safe container and freeze for 6 months or less. To make it vegan, use dairy-free frosting and swap the eggs for flax eggs.
