Vegan Chocolate Cake

From the picture above it don't look like a vegan free chocolate cake right? But then, this is really a vegan chocolate cake. This cake is different than other normal vegan cake because one of the ingredient in this cake might surprise you and it's avocado. I know some of you readers might think is weird but trust me is not. At first, I was a little hesitated too, but then I know it won't be that bad since is from Joy The Baker.
Instead of the avocado buttercream frosting, I use chocolate ganache and it come out perfectly like I expected.
