Other day we went to Sam's club for shopping and bought a bag of avocados. I used half of it for gauc. I didn't wanna use remaining for gauc not that we don't enjoy it but wanted to enjoy avocado in various other ways. I started googling and guess what.. I found a nice recipe of a cup cake. Sounds so very appetizing .. so what we waiting for.. Let's make note of ingredients

- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup non-dairy milk ( you can also use regular dairy milk if you are not vegan)
- 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Frosting:
- 1/2 cup mashed avocado
- 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
- 2 cups icing sugar
- Milk if needed for thinning
Directions -

- Puree the avocado in a bowl or blender then mix in the oil. Stir into this the sugar followed by milk, lime juice and vanilla extract.
- Stir wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Make sure there are no lumps.
