Tempting Vegan Chocolate Cake

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

My son has changed to a plant based diet and has become an avid organic gardener. I am still a meat eater but want to incorporate more plant based foods into my diet as well.

I had always made a special Ice Cream Sundae dessert for his birthday but now I had to find another way to celebrate.

I found this recipe for a chocolate cake that didn’t need dairy or eggs. It turned out great and the cocoa made the house smell like a chocolate paradise. The cake is super moist and the whole family enjoyed it. My son froze some of it and said it tasted great afterwards.

You can add frosting if you wish but I found the flavor was so rich and moist you don’t really need it. I dusted powdered sugar over it just for fun.

There are several steps involved but once you get going it moves right along.
