Chocolate Avocado Cake

Join us

This week we are running another round of #freezertolunchbox 5 day challenge. This edition is all about hidden veggies so I’m keeping the theme going on the blog. If you missed the challenge and want to know when another is running sign up to our notification mailing list!

I am slightly obsessed with a chocolate and avocado combo at the moment (can you believe I used to hate avocado?!). Putting them into a cake or biscuits like my Chocolate Avocado Biscuits (so good!) has really made me come around to avocados. I now love nothing more than a big bowl of guacamole! Anyway…. I’m rambling. Back to the cake. 

This cake is so easy to make. It may look a little odd out of the oven but the flavour, lightness and moist (that word. Ugh) cake makes up for it. It will be like nothing you expect. This isn’t an overly sweet cake so you may prefer to use sugar in place of honey for this to make it a tad sweeter. I have a sweet tooth (if you couldn’t tell from my blog!) and I enjoy this cake a lot.

These freezes really well. I cook this cake in a rectangle slice tin, cut into small squares and freeze for lunchboxes. It also makes for a great birthday cake!

Don’t forget to hang out with TRTLMT in all the cool places!
