Whew! So glad you liked it, Esther! Yep, this is the perfect cake for kids with allergies or people that are trying to reduce their saturated fat content. I love that it doesn’t require tofu, which you often see in vegan recipes. :)

OK girls, we have been soo busy eating this cake that I forgot to report, we love it.
I did have to double the recipe b/c I made it in a bundt pan, however I did not double the frosting and I had enough to frost the whole cake. I will make it again. I gave some to my neighbor across the street and she asked me if this cake had veggies in it, b/c I told her that this was a vegan cake….lol This is what happens when you get old girls. I would like the recipe for the pasta dish you made the other day. Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Thanks, Ashley!

Hannah–I made it without the frosting, which means you don’t need the hand mixer. It’s not a terribly sweet chocolate cake (most chocolate cakes from scratch aren’t, and I like that) but I still think it’s yummy. :)

oh, except the hand mixer for the frosting, since I obviously threw my {horrible, mess making monster} old one away in a mashed potato induced rage fit last week. will resort to duncan heinz until the offending mixer can be replaced.

holy crap, i have all the ingredients for this in my kitchen. i have the dietary preferences of an 8 year old and the kitchen storage space of a homeless person but I somehow, magically, have all these ingredients in my cupboard. will definitely give this a go when i get home today. you=the best.

OK girls >> I made it, frosting and all. All frosted and now it is just sitting on my cake plate waiting for after we have dinner. I always use good chocolate from Williams and Sonoma when I bake I believe it makes a difference. So I will report back to see what the Mister and I thought…..LOL. You all can come over and have a piece if you like ;)
