How to Make Insanely Creamy Chocolate Avocado Mousse Cake

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Base

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add milk, oil, and vanilla, then stir until smooth.

Pour into a greased cake pan and bake for 25–30 minutes. Let it cool completely. (The smell when this is in the oven is incredible!!)

Step 2: Make the Avocado Mousse

In a blender or food processor, combine avocados, cocoa powder, maple syrup, milk, vanilla, and salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Assemble the Cake

Once the cake is cooled, spread the avocado mousse evenly over the top. Smooth it out with a spatula for that beautiful, glossy finish.

Step 4: Chill

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set. This step is key for that perfect slice!

Slice and serve chilled. I’m kicking myself for not having shot this the first time I made it—it looked as good as it tasted!
