Seriously yummy looking! You are so healthy! Thanks for the inspiration. Can we use non iodized salt?

Yeah you can swap out iodized salt for any other fine salt.

What do you think about substituting another type of flour, like teff, tiger nut or almond?

U can try subbing out 20% if it’s a nut flour. I’m not sure what the threshold is for nut flour but it might just fall apart if there isn’t enough starch. For other grain flour, i tihnk it’s safe to do a 100% switcheroo but might run into the issue of difference in hydration- might be too wet.

Matcha! Such a fun word to say!

I made an avocado cake once and it was super bad. I’m not entirely sure why but it just tasted like old avocado with chocolate powder on top. This looks like it would be a lot better.
Also I have been trying to find a vegan icing forever so I super excited to try this one!

These are the most bizarre ingredients I've ever seen to make cake...gotta try it!! The frosting sounds amazing, but can you taste the avocado in the cake?
Nope, flavour-wise the avocado isn’t noticeable. It’s used to provide some richness to the cake. The frosting is really REALLY good. If I could swim in it I would 🤣
With ingredients that simple I think you could eat it plain like a mousse or pudding! Trying asap!
