**Faridah’s Chocolate Avocado Vegan Cupcakes**

It’s actually a bastardized banana cake recipe; I just wanted to see how avocados would work. The cakes came out really moist, actually moreso than the non-vegan cakes I used to make:
- Blend together 1 cup brown sugar with half a cup of margarine (I used soya butter, but it’s all much of a muchness)
- Mash 4 ripe avocados, getting rid of as many lumps as possible. If you have a blender I guess that would be even better!
- Chuck mashed avocados in with the sugar and butter, along with 2 cups self raising flour, half a teaspoon of baking soda, some vanilla essence (about a teaspoon), 1/4 cup soy milk and a pinch of salt
- Also add about 5 tablespoons of cocoa (all they had at my corner shop was drinking chocolate, so mine were quite light on the chocolate flavour, but basically add to taste)
- Beat all of this together
- Plop in some cupcake cases and bake at 180c for about 25 minutes (check with a sharp knife, when it comes out clean, they’re done)
- The frosting was just a mix of Tofutti cream cheese, icing sugar and cocoa powder (I eyeballed it so I don’t have a recipe per se)
- ENJOY!
