Chocolate avocado cake

Bizcocho de chocolate y aguacates

Hardly anybody can resist a good chocolate cake, and this is the best I've tasted in a long time.

The avocado gives it an incredible creaminess and makes the cake juicy and soft inside. A delight for the palate.

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Tips

This cake holds up perfectly for a few days wrapped in film paper. The avocado will prevent it from drying out and the cake will remain very juicy.
