These Times Call for a Chocolate Cake, or Two


I’m not a huge chocolate person or a cake person, but lately I’ve been wanting nothing more than a slice of chocolate cake. Here are two recipes that I’ve tried. One just happens to be vegan (no milk, eggs or butter) and the other is gluten-free (almond or hazelnut flour). I didn’t take photos, but trust me, they looked JUST like the photos in the recipes.

Chocolate Olive Oil Cake: This is the vegan cake, which is incredibly moist and chocolate-y. You can even skip the icing, and it’s still delicious.

Crispy Chocolate Cake With Hazelnut & Sour Cream: This is the gluten-free cake. It’s a little drier and is better with the topping, which gives it a nice sweet, tart kick.
