- Whole wheat flour - 1 1/2 cup
- Unsweetened cocoa powder - 3 1/2 tbsps
- Baking powder - 1 tsp
- Baking soda - 1 tsp
- Sugar (I used turbinado) - 1 cup or lesser
- Oil (sunflower or olive) - 1/8 cup or 2 1/2 tbsps
- Avocado - 1 small or medium - mashed well
- Water - 2 cups (if you use all purpose flour - it may require 1- 1 1/2 cup)
- Lemon or White Vinegar - 1 tsp
- Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
- Raisins - 1/4 cup
- Combine all the ingredients and fold in the mashed avocado to make a smooth batter.
- You can use a loaf pan or a round tray for this. Grease and sprinkle some flour and pour in the batter
- Bake in the middle rack at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes (Make sure to check after 20 minutes of baking)
- Do the fork/knife test and if it comes out clean..you are done!
I left the cake to form a neat crust...you could take it out when the top layer is still moist :)
Grab a slice with your cup of tea..have a lovely evening :)
PS: Still to get the whole wheat pastry flour..but managing with the whole wheat from kroger as of now
Whole wheat makes the cake a little denser than the all purpose (maida) version
You can reduce the amount of choclate in the recipe
love this recipe - i just have to try this !!
