Low Carb Avocado Chocolate Cake
 
 
This Low Carb Avocado Chocolate cake is fine without the icing, however if you want to try new and novel icing option then make the avocado icing……My advice is to stop at the cake and enjoy the smooth soft texture of this LCHF chocolate cake. Serve with cream or yoghurt.
