It’s soft, fluffy, full of healthy fats, and made with wholesome ingredients like almond flour, coconut flour, and honey or maple syrup for a naturally sweet bite.

This avocado cake recipe comes together easily using tools you already have in your kitchen—start in a food processor to blend the soft avocados, then grab a large bowl, mixing bowl, or even your stand mixer or electric mixer to bring the cake batter together.

You’ll mix wet ingredients like almond milk and vanilla extract in one separate bowl, and your dry ingredients—like gluten-free flour blends and ground almonds—in another small bowl before combining everything.

Once you pour the batter into a greased bundt pan or prepared bundt pan, the baking time flies by.

Let the cake cool on a wire rack, then top it with powdered sugar or your favorite frosting recipe (or skip it for a simpler treat!).

The subtle avocado flavor gives it a creamy, dreamy texture that makes it feel like a decadent dessert, even though it’s sneakily packed with goodness.

This cake keeps well in an airtight container for a couple of days, and is perfect for everything from a casual afternoon snack to a birthday cake.

Next time you need a gluten-free cake idea and you’re having a hard time choosing from all the dessert recipes out there, remember this one—it’s a good thing!

And if you’ve ever doubted whether avocado belongs in cake… this amazing recipe will totally change your mind.

Why I Love this Healthy Avocado Cake Recipe...

Weight Watcher Friendly - This gluten-free avocado cake is only 8 WW Pts on my WW app when you slice your cake into 1 inch pieces.

Since the new Weight Watchers plan is personalized you will have to input the ingredients used into your WW app to get your exact WW personal points.

Easy to Make - Preparing this healthy avocado cake requires only a handful of simple ingredients.

Hidden Veggie Goodness (That Tastes Like Dessert!) - This cake sneaks in four whole avocados, but you'd never guess it! It’s rich, moist, and indulgent—perfect for health-conscious bakers who love nutritious twists on comfort food.

Gluten-Free & Grain-Free, But Still Fluffy - Made with almond flour (and optional coconut flour), it's naturally gluten-free and packed with healthy fats and fiber. No refined flour, no compromise on texture!

Naturally Sweetened, Real Food Ingredients - No refined sugar here—just maple syrup or honey for sweetness, plus wholesome pantry staples. It’s a guilt-free treat your dessert lovers can feel good about baking for themselves or their families.

Gluten-Free Avocado Cake Ingredients and Substitutions

4 Whole Avocados - Because Avocados add a silky smooth texture that mimics the richness of butter, but with heart-healthy fats.

Honey or Maple Syrup - Unlike refined white sugar, honey and maple syrup contain trace minerals, antioxidants, and enzymes. That means you're not just adding sweetness—you're also adding some nutritional value to your treat.

Almond Flour - Naturally Grain-Fee and Gluten-Free - Perfect for anyone with gluten intolerance or following low-carb, paleo, or keto lifestyles. It keeps baked goods light and moist without the heaviness of whole wheat or refined flour.

If you don't have Almond Flour on hand try these swaps:

🌾 1. Oat Flour

Mild in flavor and gluten-free (if using certified oats), oat flour is a good sub, but absorbs more moisture—so add an extra egg or more liquid.

🥥 2. Coconut Flour

Very absorbent and low-carb, but you’ll need much less (about ¼ to ⅓ cup coconut flour for every 1 cup almond flour) plus more liquid or eggs.

🌻 3. Sunflower Seed Flour

Nut-free and similar in texture to almond flour—great for those with allergies. Can usually be swapped 1:1.

🥣 4. All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Blend

You can use this in a pinch for structure, but you may lose that rich, nutty flavor and healthy fats.

How to Make Gluten-Free Avocado Cake

1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9-inch bundt pan thoroughly with coconut oil, avocado oil or nonstick spray.

2: Mash your 4 avocados with a fork or blend avocados in a food processor until completely smooth.

3: In a food processor blend the mashed avocado, eggs, honey or maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla.

4: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and zest.

5: Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Fold in chocolate chips or cocoa powder if you want to make this a chocolate chip avocado cake.

6: Pour the batter into the bundt pan and smooth the top.

7: Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cover loosely with foil halfway through if it starts browning too quickly.

8: Let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.

Expert Tips for Making Homemade Avocado Cake

🥑 1. Use Ripe, Soft Avocados

Make sure your avocados are fully ripe (soft, not mushy) for a smooth, creamy texture. If they're too firm, you’ll end up with green chunks in your batter.

🎂 2. Blend for a Smooth Batter

For the silkiest texture, blend the avocado with the wet ingredients in a food processor or high-speed blender. This ensures no avocado lumps and a velvety crumb.

🥄 3. Spoon & Level Your Almond Flour

Almond flour packs easily. Spoon it into your measuring cup and level off with a knife to avoid using too much, which can make the cake dense.

🧁 4. Don’t Overmix the Batter

Once you combine wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense or gummy cake.

🔥 5. Grease the Bundt Pan Well

Use coconut oil or baking spray with flour to coat every nook of your bundt pan. Almond flour cakes are tender and need help releasing cleanly.

🧁 6. Check for Doneness at the Center Ridge

Bundt cakes bake unevenly, so insert a toothpick deep into the center ridge to check. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

🧊 7. Cool Before Removing from Pan

Let the cake cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes before inverting. If it’s too hot or too cold, it may stick or break.

🍰 8. Healthy Icing & Glaze Ideas:

Lemon-Honey Glaze: Whisk ¼ cup lemon juice with 2 tablespoon honey and drizzle on warm cake.
Maple-Coconut Drizzle: Mix 2 tablespoon maple syrup with 2 tablespoon coconut butter (melted).
Greek Yogurt Frosting: Mix Greek yogurt with a little honey, lemon zest, and vanilla for a creamy topping.

🧺 9. Storage Tips:

Room temp: Store covered for 1–2 days.
Fridge: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezer: Freeze slices (wrapped tightly) for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.

🌟 10. Flavor Boosters You Can Add:

Citrus zest (lemon, lime, or orange) for brightness.
Cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth.
Dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts for a little indulgence.
A splash of almond or coconut extract to deepen flavor.

Avocado Cake FAQ's

Can you taste the avocado in the cake?

Not at all! When paired with vanilla, lemon, or cocoa, the avocado flavor fades into the background. What you’re left with is a rich, buttery texture and moist crumb—without a trace of green flavor. It’s secretly healthy and totally indulgent.

Can I substitute regular flour for almond flour?

Almond flour behaves differently than all-purpose flour, so a 1:1 swap won’t work. If you need a nut-free option, try oat flour or a gluten-free flour blend—but keep in mind, the cake’s texture may be slightly denser or less moist. Adjust liquids or eggs as needed.

How do I store avocado cake so it stays fresh?

Avocado cakes are best stored in an airtight container.
Room Temp: 1–2 days (cool area)
Fridge: Up to 5 days
Freezer: Slice, wrap, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and refresh with a drizzle of lemon glaze or yogurt topping.

Can I make healthy cakes and muffins like this without refined sugar or flour?

Yes! That’s exactly what I focus on in my Healthy Muffin Cookbook. Whether you’re gluten-free, sugar-conscious, or just love nourishing baked goods that taste amazing, this book is packed with easy, family-approved recipes. Grab your copy Here...

Troubleshooting Tips for the Perfect Avocado Cake - Common Issues and Fixes

My cake is too wet or soggy inside

Cause:
Avocados were too large or overripe.
Batter was overmixed.
Cake was underbaked.
✅ Solution:
Use medium, ripe (not mushy) avocados—about ¾ to 1 cup mashed.
Mix until just combined.
Check doneness with a toothpick inserted deep into the center; it should come out with just a few crumbs. You may need to bake 5–10 mins longer depending on your oven and pan.

My cake stuck to the bundt pan

Cause:
Pan wasn’t greased well enough.
Cake was removed too soon (or too late) after baking.
✅ Solution:
Grease the pan thoroughly with coconut oil or baking spray that includes flour—especially in all the grooves.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes, then gently loosen edges before inverting.

My cake tastes dense or heavy

Cause:
Too much almond flour or avocado.
Batter was overmixed.
Eggs or leavening were off.
✅ Solution:
Spoon and level your almond flour—don’t pack it.
Stick to the amount of avocado listed in the recipe.
Use fresh baking soda or baking powder and don’t skip the eggs—they provide lift in almond flour recipes.
