My Favorite Chocolate Cake

Originally, I needed a cake free of dairy and egg but this cake is so perfect I have never found a better chocolate cake. The only downside is that it is really only good for 2 layer cakes. It doesn't have enough structure to work well as a layer cake with 3 layers. Read more The taste is worth the sacrifice. Makes one 8 to 9 inch round or square or 12 cupcakes or (2) 6 inch round cakes See less
