“This cake is gluten free, dairy free and refined-sugar free, making it the perfect healthy treat for everyone." – Teresa Cutter. This recipe is an edited extract from Earth To Table by Teresa Cutter (The Healthy Chef, $49.95), available from thehealthychef.com

1 cup (250ml) extra virgin avocado or olive oil
1 cup (250ml) pure maple syrup
8 organic eggs
1 tbs vanilla extract
1 1/2 tbs gluten-free baking powder
120g dark cocoa powder
6 cups (600g) almond meal
1 cup (250ml) almond milk

Avocado chocolate frosting

Flesh from 2 ripe avocados
1/2 cup (125ml) pure maple syrup
1/2 cup (125ml) coconut cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup (60g) dark cocoa powder, sifted
Pinch of sea salt

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 160°C fan-forced. Grease two 18cm round cake pans and line the base and sides with baking paper. Combine avocado oil, almond milk, maple syrup, eggs and vanilla in a bowl.
2.

Add the baking powder, cocoa and almond meal and mix through until combined. Divide evenly between prepared pans. Bake cakes for 1 hour 20 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean with a few moist crumbs. Remove from oven and cool completely.
3.

For the frosting, place ingredients in a blender and whiz until smooth and thick. Refrigerate until ready to ice.
4.

Trim the tops of the cakes to level. Place one cake on a serving plate and top with 1/3 cup icing. Top with second cake and spread remaining icing over top and sides. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
