Ingredients

Avocado cake batter

Chocolate batter to create the "marbling" effect

  • ¾ cup Avocado cake batter Remove this amount from the cake batter you just made
  • 3 tablespoon Cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoon Sugar
  • 4 tablespoon Milk More or less may be needed to make the batter smooth

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, add the avocado puree, coconut oil, and sugar and mix everything until smooth.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, while continuing to mix.
  • Add buttermilk and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • Dump this dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Your avocado cake batter is ready.
  • Scoop out ¾ cup of the batter you just made into another bowl.
  • Add cocoa powder, sugar and milk and mix until just combined. Your chocolate avocado cake batter is ready.
  • Now, pour the avocado cake batter into 2 loaf pans (Dimensions: 8x4). Spread the batter with a knife if necessary.
  • Pour spoonfuls of the chocolate avocado cake batter that you just made on top of the cakes and use a toothpick or a butter knife to create a marbling effect.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy!
