Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tray with cupcake liners.
-
In a mixing bowl, mash the avocado until smooth. Add the sugar and mix well.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the avocado mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
-
Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the tray for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth.
-
Dip the tops of the cooled cupcakes into the chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
-
Place the glazed cupcakes back on the wire rack and let the glaze set for about 10 minutes.
