Avocado Chocolate Mud-Cake

A mud-cake that's free from gluten, refined sugar and 100% plant-based...how is that even possible? The addition of one of our favourites; avocado, of course.

Avo isn't just for guac and smashing on toast!

The creaminess of the fruit makes it just the perfect thing for a decadent but healthy dessert.

Step 1Preheat the oven to 175 degrees, grease two round cake pans.

Step 6While the cake cools, combine all the frosting ingredients in a high-speed blender and beat until combined and whipped.
