Ingredients

  • 2 cups Almond Flour
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 cup Crystal Sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 Avocado (about 1/2 cup avocado puree)
  • 1/2 cup Full-fat Yogurt (or coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option)
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (or milk of your choice)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 Avocado (about 1/4 cup avocado puree)
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Cream (or heavy cream)
  • 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 2 tablespoons Crystal Sweetener
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil (melted)
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with coconut oil (or any oil of your choice), set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all the cake dry ingredients: almond meal, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar-free crystal sweetener, and baking soda. Set aside.

  3. 3

    In a blender or food processor, add all the wet ingredients: avocado, yogurt, almond milk, eggs, and vanilla.

  4. 4

    Process/blend until a smooth batter forms with no more lumps of avocado - it shouldn't take more than 45 seconds on high speed.

  5. 5

    Pour the liquid onto the dry ingredients and combine with a spatula until it forms a consistent chocolate cake batter.

  6. 6

    Transfer the cake batter into the prepared round cake pan.

  7. 7

    Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. I recommend checking the cooking every 5 minutes after 25 minutes of cooking time to make sure your cake comes out perfectly.

  8. 8

    Cool down on a wire rack for about an hour before spreading the chocolate avocado frosting on top.

  9. 9

    In a blender or food processor, add all the frosting ingredients: avocado, coconut cream, sugar-free crystal sweetener, unsweetened cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, and salt.
