Time 1h

Yield 14 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 2/3 cups cake-and-pastry flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt, 2
1 medium mexican avocado, pureed
3 large eggs
3/4 cup melted unsalted butter
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup skim milk

Steps:

  • Place oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line cupcake moulds with paper cups.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar and salt.
  • In separate bowl, combine avocado, eggs, butter, vanilla and milk until well blended.
  • Add liquids to dry ingredients and mix with rubber spatula until dry ingredients are moistened. Batter may look lumpy. Do not over-mix.
  • Scoop batter and fill cups almost to the top. Bake immediately.
  • Bake cupcakes for 20 to 25 minutes or until cake tester or toothpick comes out clean when placed into the cupcakes centre.
  • Allow baked cupcakes to rest in moulds for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  • Makes about 14 cupcakes.
  • Tip: For a lactose free version, substitute margarine for butter and soy milk for skim.
  • *To puree avocado, use a sharp knife and cut into the avocado straight down and around the hard pit inside. Twist into two halves-one half will contain the pit. Carefully and quickly hit the pit with the knife then with a twisting motion, loosen the pit and pull it out. To remove the avocado from the skin, ease a spoon between the flesh and the skin and scoop it out. Then, puree the avocado in a food processor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cupcakes didn't turn out well at all. They were dry and the frosting was too runny.
