Notes

This cake was fantastic. There is quite a bit of fat in it, from the butter and avocados, so it stayed moist for days. This cake is great for breakfast with creamy coffee, or perfect for dessert, also with rich, creamy coffee. I liked that I used mini chocolate chips rather than normal size, they added a chocolatey richness to the cake, without empowering the delicate avocado flavor. This dessert is also fun to serve to friends. They will wonder why the heck you used avocado. Then they will taste it and wonder why the heck you only made 2 loafs.
