Wacky Chocolate Avocado Cupcakes

My sister Sylvia is a seasoned recipe maker. She invented these delicious cupcakes to use up a surfeit of avocado.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 6 T. dark cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 2 c. sugar
• 1 large ripe avocado, mashed
• 2/3 c. sunflower oil
• 2 T. vinegar
• 1 c. cold water
• 2 tsp. vanilla

Methods:
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F. 

Sift the first 5 ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix the next 6 ingredients together in a second bowl. Then mix the wet (avocado mixture) into the dry ingredients and spoon the batter into 12 large muffin cups. Bake 15-18 minutes, depending on the size of your muffin cups.

Remove the cupcakes from the pan when cool.

Frost with a dark chocolate ganache, (which is simply chopped chocolate mixed into warmed heavy cream).
