Dear Readers, how 'bout trying this UNLIKELY combo. where "avocado and chocolate become best friends to create a rich, moist cake that even your kids (of ALL ages) will clamor for?"
(8 servings)
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup boiling water
1 T. vanilla extract (use the best you can afford*)
2 cups finely ground almond flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1/4 t. sea* or kosher* salt
1/2 cup dark honey
1/2 cup coconut palm sugar
2 ripe, med. avocados; peeled, seeded ans mashed
4 large eggs
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 325. Grease a loaf pan, and line with parchment paper. In a small bowl, pour boiling water and vanilla extract onto cocoa poser and whisk to combine; it should be like a slightly runny paste. In a large bowl, sift flour, baking soda and salt. Add honey, coconut sugar, and avocados to the bowl of a food processor. Process until avocado mixture is smooth and pale green. Add chocolate mixture to the food processor, and blend until well combined. Whisk eggs, and add them to the food processor; pulse 3-5 times to incorporate into the mixture. Gently fold chocolate-avocado mixture into the dry ingredients, adding chocolate chips. Pour batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake 50 min. or until a knife comes out clean. The cake will be a bit jiggly. Cool the cake for at least 20 min. before removing from the pan. Top with the dollop of coconut shipped cream, if you like, or vanilla bean ice cream*.
