In a bowl, sift dry ingredients (except sugar).
In another bowl, mix the pureed avocado, oil, and sugar until well blended. Add water, vinegar and vanilla.
Add dry ingredients all at once to wet ingredients and mix together with a whisk or mixer until the batter is smooth.
Pour into cake pan and bake for about 30 minutes. Test by inserting a toothpick. It will come out clean if the cake is done. Let the cake cool before frosting.

Frosting:
Beat avocado with lemon juice with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes or until it is bright green.
Add cocoa powder and powdered sugar (about a cup at a time), and continue to beat. Scrape down the sides as you mix to get all of the ingredients blended smoothly.
Frost the cake when it has cooled.
