Ingredients
Avocado cake batter
- 1 Avocado Ripe, Pureed into a smooth paste without lumps
- 2 tablespoon Coconut oil Melted
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs Large, Room temperature
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 2¼ cups Cake flour
- 1½ teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
Chocolate batter for "marbling" effect
- ¾ cup Avocado cake batter Remove this amount from the cake batter you just made
- 3 tablespoon Cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoon Granulated 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, sugar and mix everything until smooth.
- Add eggs, 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 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, divide the original avocado cake batter into 2 loaf pans (Dimensions: 8x3). Spread the batter evenly with a spatula.
- Pour spoonfuls of the chocolate avocado cake batter that you just made on top of the cakes and use a toothpick or butter knife to create a marbling effect.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean.
- Cool to room temperature and enjoy.
Notes
- Don't over mix batter because that will yield a tough and gummy cake.
- Use ripe avocados for maximum richness and creaminess.
- Coconut oil can be replaced with any neutral oil of your choice.
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature to allow for even and smooth blending.
- Read all my tips and variations above.
- Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
