Instructions
Step 1
Start by lining a loaf tin and preheat the oven to 160C.
Step 2
Blend together the bananas, avocado, nut butter, maple syrup, milk, vanilla, espresso and apple cider vinegar until completely smooth.
Step 3
Next, stir together the dry ingredients – the flour, protein, almonds, coconut sugar, bicarb and baking powder, salt and cacao – until combined.
Step 4
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined, then stir through the chocolate chips, adding a tablespoon or so of milk to loosen, if needed. Spoon into the prepared loaf tin and place in the oven to bake for around 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through and a skewer comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to completely cool.
Step 5
In the meantime, gently melt the chocolate for your frosting in a bain marie with the coconut oil. Place in a blender with the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake, then cut into slices and serve.
