Chocolate Avocado Cake(s)
So, so good. These are disappearing fast.
Beat together, I used a hand held blender but a wooden spoon and some effort will work too:
1 very ripe medium avocado
3 eggs
1 tbsp runny honey
4oz light muscavado sugar
Then fold into the beaten mixture:
4oz plain flour, I used half wholemeal and half white
2oz ground almonds
2oz cocoa powder
2tsp baking powder
Bake at 180c until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. I happened to have some leftover coffee icing in the freezer so I used that on some of them. They’re also wonderful with greek yogurt.

Chocolate and acacado together? that’s um, interesting… I’m gonna have to try it to see what it tastes like.
I have a new blog that I’d like to link to you if that’s ok?
I’ve been reading you for ages and love your work. I knit the Cloud Bolero and I get so many compliments on it whenever I wear it. :)

I will have to try this one! It looks delicious and it’s probably healthy (with the avocado and almonds), right?!;-)

Sound delish!
I’m having 3 girlfriends over for lunch, and if I hadn’t already set my mind on making a Gooseberry-pie I might have tried these instead!
PS - Sophie is adorable!
