- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the mashed avocado, vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, combine all frosting ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth. Frost the cooled cake.

Notes
You can substitute almond milk or soy milk for buttermilk if needed. Ensure your avocado is very ripe for easy mashing.
