How to Make Avocado Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground allspice.
  3. In a blender, combine 2 large eggs, 1 ½ ripe avocados (about 1 ½ cups mashed), and 1 cup milk. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan(s).
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If using round pans, reduce baking time to 30-35 minutes.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cool, dust with powdered sugar or frost with your favorite chocolate frosting.
