We loved this healthy Cacao chocolate cake. It is super yummy and very rich so you only need a little slice. It is also quite dense with cacao so be sure not to eat too late or you will be up all night!! The avocado is this recipe makes it very mouse and creamy but without the guiit. And you would never guess there is any avocado in it!!
