The Ingredients:
Cake:
2 1/2 c flour
3/4 c cocoa powder
2 t baking powder
2 t baking soda
1 t cinnamon
3/4 t salt
2 c almond milk
1 1/2 c sugar
3/4 c applesauce
1 medium avocado, mashed or food processed until smooth
2 T apple cider vinegar
1 T vanilla
Icing:
2 medium avocados
2 t lemon juice
1/2 c cocoa powder
1 t vanilla
1/2 t cinnamon
3-4 c powdered sugar
The Process:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining cake ingredients.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients, pour into 2 8-inch round cake pans, and bake about 36-42 minutes or until cooked through.
- Let cake cool for a few minutes before removing from pans, then cool completely on a baking rack.
- Meanwhile, make icing: with a hand mixer, beat together avocado and lemon juice until smooth. Add cocoa, cinnamon, vanilla, and 1 c of powdered sugar and continue to beat until smooth. Beat in remaining powdered sugar in 1/2 cup increments until icing is as thick as you prefer.
- To assemble cake, top one cooled cake round with about 1/2 the icing, place remaining cake round on top, and spread with remaining icing. I left the sides of this cake bare because the icing is so rich.
