The World's Healthiest Chocolate Cake

The World's Healthiest Chocolate Cake

This luxurious chocolate cake is brimming with health benefits and antioxidants. I love that’s it is super-moist and rich in heart-healthy essential fats from the Grove avocado oil. In addition, this cake is gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free, making it the perfect healthy treat for everyone. Best enjoyed with a generous lather of chocolate avocado frosting (see notes)!
