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.
