Ingredients
For the Cake
3 cups Hungry Harry’s All-Purpose Flour Blend
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup of rice bran oil
1 ripe avocado, mashed into a puree
2 cups of water
2 tablespoons of vinegar (white or cider)
2 teaspoons gluten-free vanilla extract
2 cups of sugar
For the Frosting
1/4 cup unrefined coconut oil
3 ½ cups of confectioners sugar (16 oz)
2 teaspoons milk of choice
1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract
1/4 cup cocoa powder
How To:
1. For the Cake : Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a bread loaf pan, or line with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl sift the All Purpose Flour Blend. Add cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and stir together.
3. In a separate bowl, Combine the sugar and remaining wet ingredients.
4. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined.
5. Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Bake on the middle rack for 25 - 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
