🍰 Desserts

Avocado replaces butter in this fudgy vegan-friendly chocolate cake. Deeply flavourful with a soft, even crumb and golden edges. Serve thick slices with tea or a spoonful of whipped cream.

Prep 27 min Cook 35 min Serves 8 Hard

Ingredients

  • Butter1/2 cup, softened
  • Salta pinch
  • Eggs3
  • Sugar1 cup
  • Avocado2 cups, chopped
  • Baking Powder2 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Dark Chocolate1 cup, chopped
  • Brown Sugar1/2 cup
  • Cocoa Powder1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 180 C / 350 F and line the tin; a properly prepared pan is half the battle.

  2. 2

    Beat the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time.

  3. 3

    Alternate the dry ingredients with the milk, folding with a spatula so the batter stays airy.

  4. 4

    Pour into the tin and bake 30-40 minutes, until a skewer in the centre comes out clean.

  5. 5

    Cool completely, then frost or dust — a warm cake melts frosting into a puddle.

Chef's tip

Chill the dough when the recipe says so; warm dough spreads into flat, greasy cookies.
