Instructions:

- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can frost the cake if desired or serve it as is. Enjoy your delicious and moist chocolate avocado cake!
Tips:
- Ensure the dates are pitted before blending to avoid damaging your blender.
- Use a ripe avocado for a smoother texture and easier blending.
