Years ago, before I knew what I was actually allergic/sensitive to, I had to go on a pretty extreme elimination diet. No eggs, no dairy, no gluten to name a few. Which made birthday cakes near impossible! I tried every vegan and gluten free cake I could find, from store bought to recipes, and this is what I came up with. It's moist, rich, and oh-so-chocolatey! The best part is, it's also customizeable based on your dietary preferences. This is how I make it!
