Ingredients
2/3 cup cocoa powder 1/2 cup boiling water 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract 2 cups finely ground almond flour 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 cup dark honey 1/2 cup coconut palm sugar 2 ripe, medium Fresh California Avocados, peeled, seeded and mashed 4 large eggs 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, pour boiling water and vanilla extract onto cocoa powder and whisk to combine- it should be like a slightly runny paste.
- In a large bowl, sift almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add honey, coconut sugar, and avocados to the bowl of a food processor. Process until the avocado mixture is smooth and pale green.
- Add the chocolate mixture to the food processor and blend until well-combined.
- Whisk the eggs and add them to the food processor, pulse 3-5 times to incorporate into the mixture.
- Gently fold the chocolate avocado mixture into the dry ingredients, adding chocolate chips if you’re using them.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. The cake will be a bit jiggly. Cool the cake for at least 20 minutes before removing from the pan.
Serving Suggestion: Top with a dollop of coconut whipped cream.
Beverage Pairing: Coffee, tea or a glass of low-fat milk.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
