Healthy Pumpkin Puree Avocado Chocolate Cake – Sugar Free & Vegan
In this chocolate cake recipe we use maple syrup. This sweet stuff comes from maples, the moisture from these trees is concentrated and you get syrup. But it is still a sweetener. So this cake is not completely sugar-free. But we don't use processed sugars. The rest of the sugars in this pumpkin puree avocado chocolate cake is the sugar found in the fruit, dates or vegetables. I have a large bag of sugar-free chocolate drops in stock. If you don't have that, you can also use dark chocolate bar. It contains less sugar than milk chocolate. We make a ganache with some coconut oil and cocoa powder. All in all, not a complicated recipe!
