Ingredients
  

  • For the cake:
  • 3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 ripe avocado mashed until very smooth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cup granulated sugar
  • For the frosting:
  • 2 large ripe avocados peeled and pitted
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 Tbsp. cocoa powder

Instructions
 

  • For cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Grease and flour a tube pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, avocado, water, vinegar and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
  • Whisk sugar into the wet mix.
  • Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture all at once. Beat with a whisk (by hand) until smooth.
  • Pour batter into a greased tube pan. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let cake cool in pan for 15 - 20 minutes on a cooling rack. Turn cake out onto cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
  • For buttercream frosting:
  • Scoop avocados out into a food processor. Process until smooth, about 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down avocado with spatula if necessary.
  • Add powdered sugar and cocoa powder to pureed avocado. Process for another minute or until creamy and combined, stopping once to scrape down mixture if necessary.
  • Frost cake. Let cake sit a few hours before serving, allowing time for flavors to blend.
  • Enjoy : )
