INGREDIENTS
CAKE
• 1 ¼ cups almond meal
• 1 ½ cups gluten free plain flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon bicarb soda
• 1/3 cup raw cacao
• 1 cup soy milk or plant-based milk
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ½ cup olive oil
• ½ cup coconut sugar
• ½ cup maple syrup
• ¾ cup coconut yoghurt
• 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon flax meal and 3 tablespoons water)
FROSTING
• 1 large avocado or 2 smaller avocados
• 3 tablespoons almond butter
• 1/3 cup cacao
• 1/3 cup maple syrup (add more sweetener to your liking)
METHOD
CAKE
• Place dry ingredients in a large bowl – flour, almond meal, cacao, baking powder 
in bicarb soda in a bowl and mix well.
• Make the flax egg by mixing the flax meal and water in a small bowl and set 
aside.
• Wisk apple cider vinegar and milk in a bowl until it foams slightly.
• Add to the vinegar and milk, the flax egg along with the sugar, maple syrup, olive 
oil, yoghurt and vanilla. Mix.
• Combine all ingredients together.  It’s best to add the wet ingredients to the dry 
ingredients and mix in slowly. 
• Grease a round 20cm cake tin and pour mixture into the tin.
• Bake at 180 degrees for 40 – 45 minutes.  Test by poking a skewer in.  If it comes 
out dry the cake is cooked.
• Please note, this cake is an extremely moist cake and once cooked and cut will 
be quite moist and almost a bit wet and fudgy inside.
FROSTING
• Peel and pit avocado and place in blender along with rest of ingredients.
• Blend until you get a smooth, thick frosting.
• Taste to ensure it is to your liking. This frosting is not overly sweet, however add 
more maple syrup to create a sweeter version.
• Once cake is cooled generously cover the cake in this divine frosting.
