Did you know that it's possible to make 'healthy cakes'? These cakes are made without flour, dairy products, or artificial sweeteners. With this chocolate avocado cake, for example, the butter is replaced by avocados. Replacing the butter with avocados doesn't make the cake any less delicious, but it does make it healthier and can actually help you lose weight.
Avocados are rich and soft, which makes them an excellent substitute for butter. Furthermore, they are a great source of healthy fats, minerals, and vitamins. The healthy fats make avocados a great choice for a ketogenic diet. To add to this, they are an excellent source of folate (used to repair cells, and lutein (maintains eye health).
Avocados have been used to lower cholesterol, treat osteoarthritis, and it's even been proven that they contain cancer-fighting properties. Therefore, adding this fruit to a cake is one of the tastiest ways to benefit from these health benefits.
The taste of the avocado mixes in well with the other ingredients that it's not even possible to tell the difference. This cake is also sweetened with honey or maple syrup, instead of sugar and white flour. Try it out now!
