Chocolate Fudge Avocado Cake

Some desserts are pure indulgence, others combine indulgence with a few feel-good ingredients you don’t have to apologize for — and this is one of those recipes.  Vevian Vozmediano, a personal chef and lifestyle coach, created this Chocolate Fudge Avocado Cake for Index Fresh, an avocado distributor from California.  This unique cake boasts no grains, no white sugar, healthy fats from avocado and coconut oil, and honey as the primary sweetener.

Spa Index Kitchen Notes

If you use a deep 9 inch pan, you'll have enough batter for one thick cake.  If you use smaller 7 or 8 inch pans, you'll have enough for 2 layers if you divide the batter evenly.

Toppings are optional, and not factored into our calorie counts. Be sure to adjust accordingly.
