In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar, eggs, oil, almond milk and vanilla extract for 4-5 minutes until thick and glossy. Fold in the mashed avocado and dark chocolate until combined.

Test to see if it’s ready by inserting a skewer into the cake. If it comes out with just a few damp crumbs, it’s ready. If there is any sign of wet cake mixture, return the cake to the oven for 5 more minutes. Transfer the cake to a cake rack and leave in the tin until completely cool. Remove the cake from the tin and leave until cold, then slice and serve.
